That's probably one of the big reasons that Amazon is backtracking and changing their policy to not delete in the future. I'm sure it was done as a way to try and appease the copyright holder so that they wouldn't sue, but you're right, it does not absolve their liability. The copyright infringement occurred, whether or not they try to "undo" it later doesn't matter. The only thing it changes is the likelihood of getting sued, not their guilt/innocence.
