Amazon created the S3 system and designed the protocol, so initially 
they were the first on the scene. However since then the S3 API has been 
used in a lot of other products..

Really an appropriate name would be Net::S3 rather than Amazon::S3.

I guess I can just fork and rename and upload, as Sam suggests, but I 
don't really have any intention of taking on the workload of maintaining 
the module, so it seems irresponsible.

Then again, the real author appears uninterested, so eh.. who knows.
