No, Apple can do what they want. We make them the censor to the extant that we rely on them for distribution. As for lawsuits, I doubt that B&N would be sued if they offered this book in hardcover, coffee table format. Which is probably

Tangent: Christmas music in a store makes me feel like I'm in the fake underground world in A Boy and His Dog. It's just creepy. They do it because they think, or know through studies, that it increases the probability that I'll buy somethi

Law enforcement dollars is much bigger than the DEA. Think of all the local and regional task forces, and especially the prisons. That's a lot of money, salaries, services, profit. So there's a source of campaign contributions and other lob

What are "cambridge format notes?" Couldn't find anything obviously that.
