I may have the "right" to ask my books to be removed. However, with no real
power to have it done, it is a meaningless "right." And I think we can all agree that I have absolutely no power to prevent my books being disseminated all across the entire planet at another's whim.
Regarding prosecution of those in illegal possession of my books: That "right" only extends to the boundaries of the United States of America; and thanks to the bounds of reality (and U.S. law), it's hardly a practical matter. Another meaningless "right."
Essentially, those "rights" are in line with my "right" to touch the Moon.
