None of those entities you've mentioned are "Kindle." Thank you for helping to prove my point. "Kindle" cannot negotiate a deal with publishers to alter firmware to detect pirated books as was being suggested. Mainly because "Kindle" does not exist as a distinct and autonomous Amazon subsidiary with access to (or influence over) publishers and/or publisher contracts.
The notion that "Kindle" could somehow make this happen without involving Amazon at all is just silly. Kindle is still Amazon no matter how you slice it.
