The bigger issue was whether or not amazon was a publisher or content provider - claiming to be protected in the same manner as an ISP would seem more advantageous, but that isn't the route Amazon has taken. Still, even though they do check things out, copyrights can be so muddled as to be nearly impossible to determine in some cases.
For these, weren't most printed in magazines (and thus have fairly short copyright)?
