I'm almost positive that the whole uploading process is automated, so no one would be checking the content of the books. I'm sure that amazon has some way of filtering titles and flagging them now though.

Worst example was Bram Stoker's Dracula, renamed something like "The First Twilight" Or something like that. Just some guy or gal uploading a book and trying to capitalize on Stoker and the Twilight series.

I'm sure Dracula is no longer under copyright, but renaming a book and selling it yourself? Come on.
