It's not that consumers "don't actually care" or that it "doesn't matter" to them--it's that it is an absurdly onerous burden.

Why are the [deleted] sites considered pirate sites? Just because the Harry Potter books can be found on them? There were illegal copies of the HP books on Amazon in the past. Does that make Amazon a pirate site?
There was this argument that Amazon could lose it's top position in the market if some other website manages to get lower prices, but we are expected to mistrust any website that manages to do just that.
If you are supposed to verify the legitimacy of a website that you never heard of before, why wouldn't you have to verify the source of the books purchased from a website when you
know it has distributed illegal copies in the past?
