That's what they're trying to avoid by refunding & removing books. They're trying to hide their liability for selling books they had no right to sell, or at least convince publishers that since they "fixed" the problem, there's no reason to sue Amazon.
And the apology is a very interesting way to say "no harm intended; please don't sue us for our blatant hacking and theft of what should be your property unless/until ruled otherwise by a court of law."
