Amazon's legal situation might be worse than usual in this case, because the plagiarist was using CreateSpace. In the normal case, someone ships counterfeit goods to an Amazon warehouse and pays Amazon to manage them. But CreateSpace is a printing service, which means the infringing book was printed on an Amazon-owned printing press. So legal precedents that shield them from liability don't necessarily apply.
