Okay. So, if the book causes someone to do something that they otherwise wouldn't have, we can say that the book (or author, publisher, bookstore, et cetera) has incited the commission of a crime, yes?

Incite is a legal word. But Bezos' action may well lead to one or more kids being molested - just like the JackAss show on TV leads to kids' maiming themselves. Promoting child rape is a disgusting and immoral act. Bezos is no better than NAMBLA.

Incite is a legal word.

Of course - we are talking about the application of the law, and not just having a good old-fashioned book-burning, right? ;)

Anyway, "leads to" is good enough. So, if this book leads to the molestation of children, then we can say that the author/publisher/bookseller is at least partly responsible for that molestation, yes?
