Hope Amazon does not ban it lol. I'm sure the book is offensive to the Japanese government.
that is an entirely different kettle of fish, it is about word usage. if I describe my dog as a "wonderful Newfoundland Bitch" (which she totally is!) it is very different from me saying "so and so is such a bitch"

They are not a private company, they are PUBLIC. You have a point though, selling snuff would be amoral, but so is selling tobacco and maybe alcohol.
these books are promoting an extremely violent and intolerable action. regardless of whether or not the company is publicly traded, they still have the ability to chart their own course
