And now, thanks to the kerfuffle being made, people are buying it and Ama/zon will now make money.

(Law related question ... how protected are purchasers from law enforcement getting a list of who bought the book?)
They'd need some sort of probable cause. Companies generally don't like giving that information out. /based on much L&O
