Here’s tonight’s Final Jeopardy answer and question for Tuesday, November 29, 2016:

Final Jeopardy! category: LITERATURE

Final Jeopardy! clue/answer: In 2009 Amazon remotely deleted unauthorized copies of this 1949 novel from some customers’ Kindles

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s contestants:

Jennifer Berry, a Medicare appeals coordinator from Indianapolis, Indiana

wk12_1128_1202_berry_lineup

Dan Chafetz/b>, a data specialist from Essex Junction, Vermont

wk12_1128_1202_chafetz_lineup

Justin Bender, an technical engineer from Boulder, Colorado (2-day total: $20,799)

wk11_1121_1125_bender_lineup

Results will go up on the main page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of the main page.

According to this article on Slate, someone haduploaded bootlegged copies using the Kindle Store’s self-publishing system, and Amazon was only trying to look after publishers’ intellectual property. But, of course, the irony was too amusing. Shortly after the incident, Amazon was sued and settled, promising in the settlement it would only delete books from Kindles if specific conditions were met.

A “regulatory body” requesting Amazon delete books would never actually happen in America, though, would it?
