If they would have won and were awarded a court order that Amazon must delete all the unauthorized books, would that make everything ok? In your opinion, does that decision apply to all future bootleg books on Amazon (since it's going to happen with 3000+ books being uploaded a day) or do you require every copyright owner to spend an untold amount of money in legal fees to defend their rights?
I don't understand why what Amazon did is considered "shortcut" when the third-party uploader broke Amazon's TOS with the self publishing unit. People didn't lose "their legally obtained files" because MobileReference didn't have right to sell the book in the first place.
