I'm sorry DGM but you do not get to decide what others publish or read regardless of whether you want to take responsibility for it or not. Freedom of speech is guaranteed (at least in the U.S.A.).

You can yell and stamp your feet and protest all you want, but you can't stop it.

You seem to want to be the 'decider' of who can publish or say what. I disagree, I say the law of the land gets to decide.

If the people decide to eliminate freedom of speech then it will be at the peril of all that has been done for the last 200+ years.

It really is very clear.
once again, no rights have been violated. the government has not been involved in restricting his ability to publish his book. the furor is over Amazon being the selling agent
