To clarify, I do know how to look up a domain registration and that did show up in the search but I didn’t go there because a person’s name would mean nothing to me. I was looking for what iubridge. com was, the name of a business, a website? I found a meaningless page with only this and it is not a live ink.
I had more time this morning and apparently it is a mail client according to these sites, potentially nefarious:
verifymail. io
iubridge. com · is a temporary email address. · iubridge. com Mail Server Information · Detect Other Disposable Email Addresses Like iubridge.
IPQualityScore:
The mail domain iubridge. com is valid, has proper DNS MX records (_dc-mx.88416f5f1293.iubridge.com), and is able to accept new email. IPQS email validation algorithms have detected that email addresses on this domain are temporary, disposable, and likely used for abuse and fraudulent behavior. IPQS has high confidence this domain is used for conducting abusive behavior including scams, phishing, malware, and business email compromise (BEC). All users from this domain should be treated with caution.
business email compromise was my concern - what would the consequences be if I had contacted this ‘rights holder’ imposter through the email address Amazon sent in the violation notice.
We removed the content listed at the end of this email. We may let you list this product again if we receive a retraction from the rights owner. Their contact information can be found below. Ma Kai izscrhcjkn@iubridge. com
So, I was trying to figure out why. They have not taken over the page this time. There have never been other sellers on the ASIN. I suppose it could be another seller in the category node.
Maybe their claims to Amazon are ultimately a phishing attempt to get access to legitimate business email accounts when a seller responds. It’s pretty disturbing that these claims can include dangerous email addresses and Amazon is unwittingly* distributing them.

Unwittingly maybe, or just not inclined to police that.
