Whats potential Amazon's liability here? This seems like its the kind of thing that could easily be/become fairly widespread.
I mean if someone found a vendor was selling goods stolen off the back of a truck and they told amazon, could Amazon get away with being so slow and blase about it?

And I bet that for most game devs its just not worth the hassle. The easiest way to defend copyright is stuff like content ID which automates the process but everyone hates that so...
