I wonder if said book included a false copyright claim. Is falsely claiming copyright for US government publications a federal crime? That'd be a trip.

  That's the thing though, the publisher hasn't made any explicit copyright claims or issued any takedown requests, so they didn't do anything wrong. All of the actions taken were done proactively by the platform.

    This is the fault/design of the law isn’t it, not the platform?

    I don't know that. Do you? I took a look at editions of the report available for pre-order on Amazon. But there were several, and I didn't want to look at them all. I don't see any copyright claim in the Scribner edition. And to be clear, I'm not arguing that the publisher requested the takedown. I'm just curious whether there's a copyright claim on the title page.

        Again, I'm not talking about what the publisher said or didn't say to Scribd. I'm talking about what appears on the title page of the book.
