Let's say I want to backup and upload my CDs and movies, would Amazon be monitoring what I upload and assume I'm doing something illegal?

Just use GPG to encrypt your files before you upload them.

In my experience Amazon doesn't care what you use AWS for as long as 1) your checks clear and 2) they don't receive any LEO interest in your data/service usage (i.e. WikiLeaks)
