It was Amazon's fault to sell it. A seller should know what he's selling.
But I'm not sure that is the right approach. What if there are different legal versions of the book? Which one would be chosen? Why prefer one publisher over another? Maybe it would be better if Amazon just paid the copyright owners the amount they didn't get from the illegal ebooks sold...
