The dangerous book in question: https://literacytree.com/and-tango-makes-three-twenty-years-...
bell-cot•1h ago
Obvious-seeming questions:

What would be an honest total price, for the IP rights to the (say) 3 dozen books which the Legions of Censorship most wants to remove from America's libraries?

Why aren't Anti-Censorship Heroes busy raising that sum, so that they can make all those books freely available on the web? Thus foiling the evil plan. Or, did The Atlantic just forget to mention that effort?

(Yes, my sense is that 99% of the folks on either side of this issue are motivated by ideological posturing and zeal for combat. Not by book availability.)
