    It isn’t censorship to refuse to be a part of distribution, just as it isn’t censorship for a publisher not to print a book they don’t think will be profitable.

    Burning the work, punishing the author, punishing anyone that prints it, banning it from print, that is censorship.

    They are entitled to the ability to write and to publish, but they aren’t entitled to make others take part in it.

        Libraries are public institutions, book stores are not.

        Public institutions must play by the rules of the people, private companies are only bound by the rules of the law.
