Think about what you're saying. Do you really feel that distributing content should be perfectly OK as long as you're unaware whether the content came from an authorized source or an unauthorized one?
In what way is it any different to a "physical" bookstore? Do you really think that Barnes and Noble, to use a random example, "verify" the legality of every book that is supplied to them by a publisher? I very strongly suspect that they (reasonably) assume that the publisher is not a crook.
