[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8678988, member: 6704184"] At least one person ITT seems to have a problem with that, actually. There are several people who get agitate over that every time this sort of thing comes up. That isn't what's happening. Look, I sell autoparts. If the local Seafoam sales rep started using his position and professional contacts to badmouth my company, my upper management would absolutely be justified in removing Seafoam products from our shelves. What's stopping them blocking someone from using the service because they find their work annoying? What right does anyone have to tell them they can't curate what is sold in their store? I was nodding along until "stolen IP". It is actively deleterious to creative endeavors to have "take down first and review later" policies for IP theft. That is a very widely abused type of policy. I would go so far as to say that IP theft should never cause removal [I]until[/I] a human has reviewed the work in question. Either way, it's not remotely comparable to snuff imagery. Obviously. There is no "right" to get your book sold in stores, or even published by a publishing house. You have a right to write it, and to distribute it privately, and to distribute it publicly so long as it is not directly harmful to the public good. And even then, the Anarchist's Cookbook isn't illegal for a reason. But you could never win a case that Amazon has to carry it. Not a legal case, nor a discussion on moral philosophy. [/QUOTE]
