[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 7777056, member: 725"] Does the reason matter? The 'She Bleeds' incident was at a North American warehouse, does that make it better or worse? Book 'burning' destruction goes way, way back with TSR. Actually, the reason why TSR went under was due to book destruction by distributors in the US. Not even trying to sell the books, destroy the books, send what's left back to TSR and claim their money back. Purely financial motivations. And TSR isn't the only publisher that happened too... And do we want every book in print? What about the private sex images from person x without their consent? Can't they claim that they don't want those books around and want them destroyed? We can go way, way darker, things like childporn, snuff images, etc. The saying isn't for nothing "The pen is mightier then the sword!", that means that sometimes you need to remove stuff... Honestly, only a print run was destroyed here, not the source files, so a reprint is likely at a different location. And it was a mediocre RPG book at that, this news is more press then the book ever had had before... You can have a ton of reasons why it isn't acceptable to print a book over subject x or images of subject y, especially in different countries an cultures. Most of the Europeans are still flabbergasted about the American dislike of the nipple on public television... We think it's stupid, a lot of Americans don't, do we need to start a trade war now? We have weird stuff in The Netherlands (besides the red light district, legal canabis, clogs, and windmills) as well, we have something called 'Majestyprofanation', curse at the king/queen and you can go to jail... Yeah, we still have one of the 26 monarchies that 'control' 43 of 195 countries in the world... How archaic is that... What I'm saying is that we all have things that others, half a planet away don't want to or can't understand. No reason to go ballistic over that. Most larger companies do more risk analysis when they start operations in another country, a one-man-team might have done some more research on the matter before printing their books in China. Heck, when I read (years ago) that a lot of WoW was changed due to the Chinese market, my first thought was that this might affect RPG/wargame production in China.
