amazon should aggressively go after the vendor that wrongfully put the book on the marketplace in the first place -- to make an example out of them. Ideally they should have the vendor compensate the publisher for the books sold and leave the consumer out of this mess. That could take months (in a best case scenario) or years to play out for what probably amounted to maybe 100 - 200k in sales? Not worth it.

Then again we're looking at this from only the consumer's standpoint. Some of us on this board are publishers of content as well and, as this content is sold on new mediums, we want appropriate protections in place to insure piracy is infrequent.
