Nah, copyright is 70 years after the author’s death. They’ve got another 40 years or so before they have to ruin that. This was probably just a money/publicity

Nah, copyright is 70 years after the author’s death. They’ve got another 40 years or so before they have to ruin that.
This was probably just a money/publicity grab. I wouldn’t be surprised if the reissues of the originals were the original goal, but copyright didn’t have anything to do with it.
- guelo 4y agoThe ridiculously long copyright is part of the problem here. If these books were out of copyright it wouldn't be up to the one publisher to make these decisions and everybody could get the edition they wanted. (Though the antiwoke mob strangely seems to want to ban any modifications to classics).
