That's like saying the bookstore is reproducible for what the publisher does, no they aren't. They're responcible for pulling the offending book from the shelves, which is what Amazon did, only digital technology allowed Amazon to go a step further.
When you or I pirate a book and put it up on a torrent we know full well what we're doing is illegal beforehand. When someone pirates a work and puts it up on Amazon for sale Amazon has no idea what's going on until after the fact. Indeed Amazon has done nothing wrong whatsoever, they didn't infringe on the copyright, the pirate did. And as soon as this is discovered Amazon moves to correct things to the best our their ability, so no, it's not like you or I doing it at all.
