Oh then I misunderstood you. Yes, if an author self publishes and sells copies. Their control over said copy largely ends when it leaves their possession. In fact they only maintain one right to it after that point. The copy right. Which unfortunately IA is a bit fast and loose with.

    I'm not opposed to "the right to be forgotten" but imo that should apply to private speech, not something posted publicly. If you publish something on the open internet I feel like you've given up that right (like an author deciding to give copies of a book to friends vs an author selling a book in stores)
