If you think what Amazon did is perfectly OK, then you're also saying that all P2P sharing should be OK as long as people just take a file down when the copyright owner asks them to. No harm, no foul.
What I'm asking you is how Amazon can tell the difference between a "legit" publisher and a rogue individual. The internet makes it pretty easy for anyone to look like a legitimate company. If I sign up with Amazon and say that I am the "New York Publishing Corporation" (or whatever), how can Amazon verify that I am not who I claim to be?
