Amazon Android store - holy copyright violation, Batman!

I was checking this out for the first time today. There are so many flagrant copyright violations! At least, it would appear so to my unlawyerly eye. But in any case, so much shady and deceptive shit. How is Amazon tolerating this?

Here is a no-name shovelware developer selling shitty puzzle games (as in, you put together a puzzle) with pictures stolen from screenshots of various games. Check out the sports ones and you'll see weirdly resized screenshots of various AAA sports games from across the years, such as NFL Blitz.

You think they have licenses from all the major sports teams, Nickelodeon, Disneyetc.? Fat chance!

And it's not just them, it's their evil clone studios putting out the same games with different names:

What the shit?

Welcome to the Phone game market.

Fixed that for you.

Hell IOS had a "Pokemon Yellow" App that was the top app for almost a week last year despite it only having screen shots from the game.\

Not even mentioning all the horseshit copyright infringing stuff that actually stays on the store year round.
 
I've seen the blatant game clones/ripoffs, but never someone who dared fuck with Disney lawyers, whom I imagine would go after Google/Amazon...?
