This is not banning a book. This is the rights holder (a sizeable corporation) making a business decision to stop publishing a book.


No, this is a company preventing people from selling a previously published (and purchased) copy of a book. This is book banning.


Can these people you are talking about still sell their book, legally? Could they give the book to another person in exchange for money, right in front of a cop, and face no legal recourse? You're confusing the word "banning" with the word "inconvenience".
