you do realize that the safe harbor provision doesn't give any protection for taking down content. It only allows the transfer the liablity to the copyright holder if a takedown is initiated.
if the government informed them of the "copyright" violation they can transfer the liability to government
if not they can't
btw just because amazon is willing to take the liablity for the takedown doesn't mean another company should too
remember the current story was that it was taken down due to DDOS attack and that would cost amazon millions in lost business since the whole point of s3 is that it can't be taken down by such an attack because of the SOS nature of the site.
