What about the publisher, who took on legal risk publishing Snowden's book? If they don't make money, there is no incentive to publish this sort of book in the future.

So if I'm parsing that right (IANAL), the publishers are required to remit Snowden's share to the government, but the ruling doesn't appear to require the publishers themselves to forfeit their own revenues/profits. https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/snowden_book_ruling.pdf https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/snowd...
