 Amazon.com Settles With Justin Gawronski For $150,000

Picture 15 Amazon.com Settles With Justin Gawronski For $150,000
You may remember the story of Justin Gawronski. Gawronski filed a lawsuit against Amazon.com because the books 1984 and Animal Farm were deleted from his Kindle shortly after he purchased the books. Gawronski’s homework was also deleted from the Kindle.

Amazon.com settled with Gawronski and the law firm representing him by paying $150,000 to settle. After paying the cost of the lawyers, the rest of the money will be donated to charity. Gawronski will receive a $30 gift certificate too.

“Amazon has just proven that when I buy a book on the Kindle, I don’t really own it,” stated Gawronski, 17, in an interview with The L.A. Times. “I just feel that is wrong.”

The reason why 1984 and Animal Farm was deleted is because a company that did not own the rights to the books added them to the Kindle store. Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos stated the incident was “stupid, thoughtless, and painfully out of line with our principles.” Gawronski is a high school senior that lives and studies in south-eastern Michigan.

THE ORIGINAL KING OF ACTION RETURNS!

With dozens of Game of the Year awards under his belt, Duke remains the King of Action. Larger than life action is what Duke is all about, mixed with humor and innovative explosive action in this 20+ hour game.

Los Angeles. Under attack by aliens intent on stealing our chicks for breeding. Duke Nukem springs into action dealing damage like only he can, making his “insightful” comments along the way. If you’ve never played a Duke game, this is your chance to see why he’s been a fan favorite since 1991, with over 18 original Duke Nukem games since that time. Duke Nukem is not the typical faceless hero — he’s an in-your-face hero who has a personality that doesn’t quit. Yes, it’s a B-movie plot, but that’s what makes it fun!

A NEW WAY TO KILL

This high-powered iPhone 3D engine supports TapShoot(tm), a unique way to play first-person shooters on the iPhone and iTouch, taking full advantage of the unique touch screen interface to easily and quickly aim and shoot enemies, without the frustration of trying to line up your weapon perfectly. Once you’ve experienced TapShoot, you’ll wish all FPS games on the iPhone had this breakthrough feature.

CUSTOMIZED CONTROLS

Yes, we have the thumb-stick style controller, but we’ve also pioneered another way to guide Duke through levels, using slider-style controls.

Practically everyone who’s playtested the game thinks this new method is superior. And this along with the TapShoot feature makes Duke Nukem 3D a blast to play on the iPhone.

THE PRESS HAS ITS SAY!

Metacritic Player Rating: 9.4 of 10.

“It’s the ultimate game for unleashing all your pent-up aggression. It is the most astonishing game we’ve laid our eyes on for ages! In fact, it makes pretty much every PC game we’ve ever seen – “Doom” included – like slightly dull. Honestly!” — PC Gamer

“It’s more inventive, and more entertaining, than “Doom.” I know they’ve had long enough to get it right (but so have many others, who’ve tried and failed).” — Computer and Video Games

“It’s rare when a game comes along that really kicks your a*s. With its free-flowing 3D action, over-the-top weapons, and ruthlessly attitudinal protagonist, Duke Nukem will have PC gamers worldwide rubbing their rumps with spine-tingling glee.” — Gamespot

“I couldn’t stop laughing while playing this extremely enjoyable trip through what unfolds like a 1950’s science fiction B-movie: Space Aliens Invade Earth for Women!…Duke Nukem has what most first-person shooters don’t – character!” — PC Gameworld
