Only problem with this theory is - Amazon is under a court order NOT to do this.

Protestations to contrary I am having a problem believing that this was an accident, Having used the Amazon publishing service there are simply too many checks in place for this to be an 'Accident',
On the AWS server service there are many levels of compute and storage available, Netflix is probably using the cheapest level to control costs - this level is useful for adding nodes to Beowulf clusters and web content serving but is subject to interruption.
Facts are indeed inconvenient,

I think you will have better luck grinding this axe.
Facts you say? Amazon makes a mistake, corrects it and and you are trying to blow it up to be bigger than 9/11, Watergate and NSA spying all in one.Facts are indeed inconvenient,

Just a devils advocate though, does film count as Kindle content. Considering that you don't need the Kindle app on your pc,mac,tablet to view the film I am going to assume that it is not within the same legal grounds as Kindle Content.
Sadly servers causing content to disappear is common, I was one of many people effected by it Via Steam, One of my Games disappeared(the same game disappeared for many users), and Steam even has a FAQ for if this situation happens.
Modern corporations don't make mistakes like this, They take an action and hope they get away with it and because the US population is generally forgiving they generally DO get away with it.
Remember when Bank of America was going to add a charge to every debit card purchase, Verizon was going to add a $2.00 charge to every bill paid online even though it was cheaper for them than to process in the office. Common thread was a US corporation was implementing a totally unjustified action simply because they COULD and they only backed off when they were shamed by the national media just as in this case.
Corporations comprised of tens of thousands of human being never make a mistake.
Yeah....
Good points, I don't really know if it counts as Kindle content however a Kindle Fire or Kindle HD can play this media so it's one for the lawyers to decide.
On server errors the key difference is Valve fixes the errors without requiring national media to shame them into fixing the error and server errors generally only make news in the technical press, Not the front page of US and UK major newspapers which is why I am holding to the belief that this was NOT an error.

I like this discussion and am no way trying to push my point right or wrong, but very rarely do private companies that do 2.5 billion a year make the news like a public company that does 61 billion. More eyes are on the public company the private.
No problem,
For me it just seems companies these days make 'mistakes' which they do not rectify until they are shamed by the press, Which leads me to believe that that are not mistakes at all, Rather just testing the limits of what they can get away with.
If it was a mistake it should have been rectified immediately and if it HAD been it never would have made the front page in the US and UK it probably would have been picked up by the technical press but it would have ended there with a explanation by Amazon about what they would do to prevent future incidents.

Or in this modern world the press and public at large can see a problem and post it to 100 sites before the company has even opened an e-mail reporting a problem.
True - However If it was fixed quickly it would be on page 20 if it could be found at all, The fact that it made the front page on two continents means a LOT of people were affected and Disney/Amazon's initial responses were less than satisfactory so people took to the 'net to express their anger.
Cory Doctorow has a new article on the issue,
Turns out that this was not a 'server failure' after all

This is all pointless and both Prep and Landing 1 and 2 are back on Amazon. Whoever was responsible fixed the problem or reversed the choice to have it removed. I'm going with Amazon mistake as neither version of Prep and Landing disappeared off of the other streaming sites. Vudu had it the whole time why wouldn't Disney pull it there too?
