It is funny how the story has morphed as the details have slowly come out. Of course, McMillian has embargoed the libraries for 3 months sounds a lot more extreme than McMillian has embargoed ebooks for 3 months at libraries or McMillian will only sale 1 copy of an ebook to libraries for the first 3 months.
Also strange how Macmillan becomes McMillian

But yes, language can be abused to be "accurate" without being correct. Which of course can rile people up into a furor over the issue.
