I mean, if the people who burned it owned the book. I think they are well within their rights.

Yeah, they're not going to get anywhere with this argument when dealing with countries that value freedom of speech and expression. They can be unhappy about other countries allowing so much freedom, but they can't alter that fact. It's not the government burning these books; it's regular people and that is within their rights.

Free speech is the issue here. I can burn any book I want to. No one has a right to stop me from exercising my rights.

They can be upset, but that is it.
