It's closer to "you know, I wish this hadn't been released and I've decided that no one should be able to sell their copies of it." According to wsj: > Online marketplace eBay Inc. said it is working to prevent the resale of six Dr. Seuss books that were pulled earlier this week by the company in charge of the late author’s works because they contain offensive imagery.

That's weird, I don't remember the book burning. I guess I must have missed it. I am sure it is totally impossible to get a copy of any of those books now that the publisher has decided to stop publishing them after 80 years.

  Who said anything about book burnings? Claiming that it's just the owner of the work who decided not to sell it is not giving the full story, if it's not a lie by omission.

  Listings for them on Amazon are $800+ a pop now for used copies

eBay decided themselves they didn't want to be associated with it; the author's estate didn't dictate to them that nobody is allowed to trade in it. They're still on Amazon, of course, as are a bunch of racist bumper stickers and a billion other SKUs.

  Of course, you're right, I should've phrased that differently.
