Guide for Paedophiles published on Amazon

You can read about it, here.

However, how many books are out there that teach you how to do something illegal, even in fiction? People don't boycott Amazon for those do they?

I think that there is a difference between fiction and non-fiction, fiction, irregardless of it's "educational" value in illegal methodology ( I think of "Day of the Jackal" primarily in this case ) is invariably clearly framed as "illegal" and is not in any way inciting illegal behaviour. Similarly, I have a book on lock picking (http//www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1597496111/ref=oss_product)* that I just bought that "educationally" teaches me something illegal ( along with the literally hundreds that I have on hacking and computer security ) all of which are at great pains to say that something is illegal if not given specific permission and in a large number of cases contain the chapter and verse of the statutes that are involved in such behaviour. That sentance above _is_ inciting behaviour which _is_ illegal in the frame of reference of the author and he knows it to be such, if this were a document saying "It's illegal to kill a member of religion X, but I think that it's ok to beat them up a bit" - the charges of inciting religious hatred would be laid immediately.

Amazon is unwilling to host material of WikiLeaks - this should be the same. Ethically there is a better case made for "the greater good" and "freedom of speach" for WikiLeaks than this e-book.

Update Which clearly they have done - sorry didn't check before reading the thread and writing !

* The book is interesting, but has a somewhat American bias towards locks …
