Ronin Publishing, Inc. is a small press in Berkeley, California, founded in 1983 and incorporated in 1985, which publishes books as tools for personal development, visionary alternatives, and expanded consciousness.
The company has been subpoenaed by the Drug Enforcement Administration to provide names and addresses for people having purchased their books on marijuana horticulture.
In 2006, Ronin republished the 1963 Discordian religious text Principia Discordia with altered text, altered images, and a new name, so Ronin could copyright the work.
This action offended many fans of the original work,[10] whose authors, Greg Hill (Malaclypse the Younger) and Kerry Thornley, had died several years previously.
Malaclypse the Younger, et el purposefully put their book, Principle Discordia into the public domain outside of copyright.
