It is pretty embarrassing but Amazon has been kind of notorious for not really taking copyright issues very seriously. The good news has always been that few people use Amazon for infringement, eBay seems to be the bigger target. But mistakes like this can change that fast…

Gosh. So there is a lack in Kindle's enforcement. If they are really want to benefit the bloggers, the should consider the revenue, at least 50-50. We already know that Amazon gains a lot of profit although they take 20% from the revenue as their share.I'm personally afraid that more bloggers and interesting site will tend to monetize their feed thus selling the subscription thru Kinde. This situation could resuce the loyal readers of the sites and increases plagiarism as stealing others' contents is quicker to make profit than to create a new one.
