With how many people every day buy ebooks and possibly do convert them for a different reader they'd have no time for anything else but running down potential violators of the notice.
I do that all the time. I've bought a lot of ebooks from Amazon, stripped the DRM (if it has DRM) and converted it to read on my Kobo. It's ridiculous that something like this is illegal.
