Netflix owns the rights. This isn't the author's family or anyone else. Just a dumb bunch of soulless LA based execs virtue signaling/moralizing in between their coke/hooker binges. https://www.scotsman.com/news/people/netflix-acquires-rights-to-roald-dahls-childrens-books-3393120 https://www.scotsman.com/news/people/netflix-acquires-rights...

Not only are you wrong to imply that Netflix is making edits to the books (it is the publisher, Penguin), Penguin is also going to publish the classic versions: https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/penguin-publish-classic-roald-dahl-books-after-backlash-97441402 https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/penguin-publish-cl...

  So they're editing the Kindle versions and kind enough to allow us to spend money on the originals we already paid for? Awesome.

RDSC had to authorize changes by Penguin. I'm sure you're excited about the new version, given your confident denunciation that was dead wrong.
