If you think that a book is the same as a car then it seems to me that you missed the point entirely. Have you ever written?

- awesome_dude 3y agoThe point has been clear all along. No books are being censored. Nobody is preventing anyone from accessing the original version. The publisher is not, and should not, be forced by anyone to produce any version at all. If you had been an author you would understand that selling your rights to a publisher is no guarantee that the book will even be printed, there have been numerous examples over the decades of rights being acquired for a work and then never exercised such that that work is never published (this is especially common with movie rights), Complaining that you as an author want to retain a right on editorial actions is fine if you dont sell that right. But if you were an author you would know that that doesn't always happen. Complaining as a consumer makes very little sense. It's fine to air your grievance, but the truth is you have no right on what is produced at all.
