I'm sorry, but no I'm not. This is my field and these are very real, serious issues within marketing and strategic business.
If you would like, after the weekend I will gladly site many, many sources proving my point.

I think the point that is being alluded to, that both of you are talking cross-purposes about...is that in this particular instance, this work is *not* illegal in the place where itis was being sold. The company, in this case Amazon, is well within its rights to sell or not sell the book in question. What Amazon does *not* have the right (or even ability) to do is to censor the work itself.
A company may be restricted by legality of what it may or may not market and how, but after that point whether or not it sells it is up to the company. And, in this country, the same company does have some say in terms of the regulations of that industry...which in turn affect the legality of what it can and cannot market and how.
And before it even gets to that point...a company still has the *right* to sell whatever the hell it wants, however the hell it wants to....provided it is willing to deal with the consequences.
Of course...I could be wrong.
