1. Write a book and sell it on Amazon.
2. Some counterfeiter creates a listing with an infringing copy of the book.
3. DMCA request is filed and the listing is taken down and the account is banned.
4. Someone else buys a legitimate copy of my book and creates a listing for it on Amazon.
What should Amazon do?
From reviewing the thread the artist posted, it appears that's why he's frustrated - that fakes keep re-appearing, and Amazon is asking him to jump through hoops again, even though his authorship had been established.
So, no - I don't feel it's reasonable to ask the author to enlist people to help him police the marketplace, Amazon can easily solve this problem (future infringement) with technology.
