I'm not sure it would be reasonable for them to check every book before it went up, but I do think it would be reasonable for them to flag titles for further verification if they have been removed because they were pirated and are resubmitted (to prevent the above). Not sure if a deposit would have an impact or not. Good idea, but where does the balance between being high enough to discourage the pirates seeking a quick buck and being too onerous for legit publishers to have to put it up. Tough one.
