Seems rather like a rorion-esque move, chasing after him waving legal writs " My friend, i'm going to sue the fuck out of you!!"
Or perhaps a more pedestrian explanation?

Iâm thinking just sold out, just more sales then books printed
It just says âout of printâ. So, most likely sold out. But Rorion has been known in the past to report things on ebay from what Iâve heard.
Hadnât heard about this.
Googled and I assumed youâre taking about âWorth Defendingâ?
What did Rorian consider sue worthy?
no kindle anymore either. That was mainly paul fucking with people reselling their WMA products you're thinking of. Amazon prints on demand kids.
GEE! you reckon they're sold out of the electronic kindle files too?
Maybe he made disparing remarks about transgenderism in his book.
then good, he needs to be cancelled.# fuck'em
Other than the ufc and rewriting bjj history to where helio is somehow the patriarch, rorion has contributed zero substance of worth to the actual art of Brazilian jiu jitsu.Â
dude was a dweeb who was smart enough to get more educated than the rest of his cousins and siblings so he had a huge head start promoting and business wise in the states.Â

Oh come on. You canât just gloss over his UFC contribution like it was nothing. Thatâs like saying: "Besides beating most of his opponents and being the GOAT, what has GSP done for MMA? Heâs just some bald, anxiety-ridden frenchman who does too many cartwheels."
Creating the UFC as an informercial for BJJ was a big deal. It inspired legions of practioners who otherwise would never have taken up the art. Those practioners went on to change the art itself.

Ah yes, that minor little thing called the ufc. Have you ever considered chugging a gallon of carbolic acid? It's the "in" thing to do among the contrarian hipster crowd. Use your stimulus money to engage the services of a call girl, the release of your frustration will embiggen your soul and free you from spending all your time posting contrarian bullshit for a sense of personal relevance. While basking in this enlightenment, chug the beverage.
OOPS, THAT WAS FOR HILLBO

yusul -he threatened bresler? that's pretty low if true.Â
well, i'm sure it's karmic that his own kids undercut him in business. hopefully they smarten up and don't go too far down his path for screwing other people over.Â
I'm speculating, hence the use of the question mark in the thread title. i thought someone here might know the particulars.

He sold something. That doesnât move my needle. Salesmen donât actually do anything but manipulate what was already there. They donât create. They donât innovate. They just appeal to our primitive instincts.Â
i get what youâre saying, itâs just not something I value.
also, at times, rorion tried to get in the way of jiu jitsu because he wasnât getting a piece from everyone. No budo.Â

Being out manoeuvred and put out of business by his own sons should be Rorianâs proudest moment as a father.

indeed, rorion created a monster, that turned on and devoured its creator. While moving a box of magazines yesterday, i picked up a mid-nineties karate illustrated and flipped thru it, it has a little story about young yellow belts, rener and ryron, even then, despite supposedly being the uke, rener was trying to upstage ryron in every photo that appeared in the article

So did rorion really shut down this book? I dont recall anything even remotely inflammatory about rorion in the book. Though ive got like 2 chapters left.

Itâs that weird sociopath pride the papa viper must feel the moment the baby viper sinks his fangs into his throat.
