In reply to the discussion: Senator (Feinstein) calls for The Anarchist Cookbook to be 'removed from the Internet' [View all]Viva

The author never owned the copyright. He was paid to write it. He did not write the book and enter into a contract with the publisher. There was never an agreement of royalties.
The book was published as a joke book. Anyone who understands what the word Anarchist means, knows that this book is not about Anarchy. The recipes were never real.
I am sure that the current copyright owner would be more than happy to sell the rights to William Powell, if he offered enough money. I would think that the selling price would have many zeros. Instead of whining on Amazon, the author should raise a few million dollars and buy the rights back.

The Anarchist's Cookbook exists because of people's attempts to silence dissent.
