This isnt censorship. Studio is just trying to prevent copyright violation on its property. Given the book shares the name and the author it was affected as well which is unfortunate but not malicious.

If this was the first time, it'd be an unfortunate incident. But with its history of abusive DMCA takedowns, this is at least gross negligence.

Correct me if I'm wrong, an infringing title would be a trademark violation, not a copyright violation. The DMCA applies only to copyright violations.

Parent was saying that Doctorow's book was affected by accident, incidental to a legitimate claim against another book with the same title.

The TV show "Homeland", right? Not another book?
