Suppose I decided to support John Kerry by buying 1000 of his books at Amazon.com or at any other book store. Kerry would get the profits from that sale,
as he is entitled. I could possibly even go to the Kerry campaign or publisher and make a bulk buy. Kerry would STILL get his deserved royalties.
The books would then be my property. Why would I not be entitled to sell some or all of those books, or even give them away, should I choose to? If
someone chooses to support Kerry as a result of getting a book free or at a reduced price, so much the better. Kerry opponents have certainly spent enough
money attempting to besmirch him.
And, BTW, the word is spelt censored.
