Our current intellectual property law makes no distinction between these two cases.
We should fix copyright rather than stoke useless culture wars. The publisher and Dahl’s estate are laughing all the way to the bank on this controversy.
- readthenotes1 4y agoRight? The new works should be accredited to new authors with perhaps a "with thanks to" attribution. It is only because of copyright that this is not done
- bombcar 4y agoSadly that’s probably a decent reason to do a “approved update” - you can force all libraries to buy the new edition
- defrost 4y ago> you can force all libraries to buy the new edition I'm sorry, what now? My local library here in Western Australia has a second edition of Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1860, 3000 copies). There's been no pressure that I'm aware of to acquire the first, third, fourth, fifth or sixth editions or the numerous translations that I'm aware of - many of these are carried by other libraries. Who is going around libraries forcing them to get more recent editions?
- bombcar 4y agoOnce a revision is widely known to be "racist" there'll be pressure to update to the "corrected" version.
- tzs 4y agoNo you can't. The libraries can keep whatever edition they already have.
