Possibly, if they were fairly stupid. I would assume that the uploader knew they weren't the rights holder though, and would at least make it a little difficult to track them down.

Personally, this is the sort of person I'd like the legal system lock up and throw away the key. It's one thing to illegally download books, but to attempt to make money from illegally uploading someone else's books - people who do that are just lowlife scum of the worst kind, in my view.

Yes, your rabid hatred of copyright infringers is well known.
I'm not sure if this case would really qualify as criminal infringement though, so it's doubtful jail time would be an appropriate punishment (let alone "throwing away the key", which is just insane for something like this).
