“What responsibility do print-on-demand providers have to prevent infringement on their platforms?”
All of it. The company that submitted the request also has all of the responsibility. It doesn’t have to be split between them. They are both 100% responsible.
It isn’t though. If you download someone’s work for your own enjoyment, you can plausibly argue that if you’d had to pay, you wouldn’t have been interested, so there’s no money that you’re taking from them. When you illegally sell someone’s work, there is necessarily money that should go to the artist but doesn’t.

I'm supposed to give two shits about artists getting ripped off for the same thing? Please. What ever happened to information wants to be free?
