Such short writings may not qualify for copyright protection. From http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ34.pdf:

"Copyright law does not protect names, titles, or short phrases or expressions. Even
if a name, title, or short phrase is novel or distinctive or lends itself to a play on
words, it cannot be protected by copyright."

Nobody, not even Google, is interested in filing lawsuits that will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars with an iffy outcome when there's a far easier way to handle it. In this case, just notify Amazon, who will kick the account for violating their terms of service, which is most likely what happenedhere.
