So nothing stops a copyright infringer re-uploading the content with a new ASIN? I think only a hefty fine for both the infringer and Amazon would make them think twice about doing it again.

The DMCA expressly gives entities that publish user-generated content a “safe harbor” exemption from such liability if they handle authorized takedown requests in a reasonable amount of time.

Exactly! So Amazon makes money from our work. And they even makes us lose time with reporting items that simply change numbers. What a shame!

Do you really want platforms to decide what can be put and what can't be? How should they decide that an article is IP infringement and what isn't?
