If Amazon can't verify that they are authorized to distribute the content, then you think it's OK for them to do so? The only penalty should be that when they are informed that it was unauthorized that they just need to take it down. No harm, no foul.
Think about what you're saying. Do you really feel that distributing content should be perfectly OK as long as you're unaware whether the content came from an authorized source or an unauthorized one?
So Jammie Thomas can say that yes, she uploaded 24 music files on P2P. But since she didn't verify whether or not she was allowed to, as long as she just removes them from her upload folder when the RIAA complains, then there's no penalty? No trial, no fine.
