His buddies at Wikileaks published a link to a pirated version of "Fire and Fury". As copyright-violation is not the same as transparency, one can only assume that they did it to hurt the sales of the publisher. (Well, they COULD have published a link to an online-store where the book is on sale...)

So even if they stop selling the book, it's already out there. Oopsie.
