"Assange has made it clear: This funding will sustain and grow his criminal enterprise. "I don't want to write this book, but I have to," he said, citing the "need to defend myself [from rape allegations] and to keep WikiLeaks afloat."
But Assange no more has to keep WikiLeaks afloat than a drug dealer has to keep churning out his deadly product. Indeed, if Random House dared help an ordinary criminal profit by publishing a self-promoting, glossed-over memoir, it would violate New York's Son of Sam law and surely run into a buzz saw of ostracism."
The best revenge is that no one buys the book.
Ramdom House Shouldn't pay Julian Assange

Wouldn't it be ironic if his "memoir" is leaked to file-sharing sites and torrents prior to official commercial release and everyone downloads it for free for their e-readers? Wonder if Mr. Assange would stick to his principles and condone such a leak...
