アイコンのデザインを変更して無事審査を通過しました。ちなみに同じ理由でリジェウトされた他の方のブログなんかを読むと、ホームボタンをなくしてデザインをiPhoneから遠ざけることでも審査を通過できることがあるみたいです。

PLA 3.3.8
We found that your app records the user, but does not have the proper indicators that the app is recording, as required by section 3.3.8 of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement.
Specifically, your app auto-disables the shutter sound of the camera when a photo is taken.
Next Steps
Please revise your app to implement the required means of indicating the recording activity to all parties. Please note that the recording indicator cannot be disabled and your app cannot go blank during recording.
対応方法
対応は単純でカメラのシャッターのアクションにシャッター音がなるコードを追加しました。

どうやらシャッター音はマナーモードやミュート状態でも強制的に音が出るみたいです。

スクリーンショットに、アプリ内でYouTubeを検索した結果画面を登録していたのですが今回の原因はそこに著作権を侵害している可能性のある動画が含まれていたからだと思います。検索結果画面にそのような動画が写り込まないようにしたら、無事審査を通過しました。

最初に、このアプリではCDを買ってもらうことが目的だから電子書籍や音楽データは関係ないと返信して、再申請したのですが、「うるせー直せ(要約)」と再度同じ連絡が来ました。そこで、楽天ブックスへの遷移を諦めて楽天市場の商品検索結果にしたところ無事通過。楽天市場の検索結果ページには電子書籍へのリンクがないので通ったのだと思います
