The DOJ pushing their case against Snowden's potential book profits nicely reminds everyone about the US government's illegal surveillance programs and simultaneously helps promote the book. If I were Macmillan I'd consider not having any profits from it by simply donating all the proceeds from Snowden's book to the Freedom of the Press Foundation, a non-profit organization. Kinda like when they demanded the cryptokeys to Lavabit but found instead it had gone out of business.
