I'm entirely in agreement with Helgard's post. Rendo is a business, and it has to make money to survive. Whether this was the right decision or not is only relevant in the context of the business. If they feel the product won't sell, then it's their right to decide not to include it in the marketplace.
As for whether it's right for Rendo to decide what we can or cannot buy, that happens all over. Amazon doesn't stock certain books because they can't come to a mutually satisfactory agreement with the book publisher. Too bad for the author (or potential purchaser), but that's life. Rendo and Amazon are not public services. Every other store does the same thing. If you can't buy something there it's because they've taken a conscious decision not to stock it. Why is Rendo any different?
