I'm truly not trying to be a smartass, I'm just trying to ascertain whether there's anything they could do to make this situation "right" in your mind. Not a good start, not a step in the right direction, but an honest to goodness solution to the problem. Is there one in your mind? If the problem is indeed inherent, as you say, in digital books, then why the cry for something to be done?

What about a disclaimer?
Of course there is nothing that is an absolute guarantee, short of uploads being careful reviewed and vetted, and that's asking a lot. I already indicated basic guidelines, because they would possibly help people be aware. There are guidelines about copyright--those get followed.

Why do you think it has to be all or nothing? What's so wrong about there being some rules that people are asked to follow when they upload, even if they can't ensure complete accuracy? We have rules about posting in the forums, don't we? Why not some general rules for uploads?
