Fya: Thank Netflix for this. They own all rights to Dahl's books. https://www.scotsman.com/news/people/netflix-acquires-rights-to-roald-dahls-childrens-books-3393120 https://www.scotsman.com/news/people/netflix-acquires-rights... The Roald Dahl Story Company owns the rights, and authorized Penguins changes. They are owned by Netflix. So no, this isn't disinformation you censorious hall monitors. https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-acquires-iconic-roald-dahl-story-company https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-acquires-iconic-ro... https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/22/netflix-is-acquiring-the-rights-to-roald-dahls-books https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/22/netflix-is-acquiring-the-r...

Netflix has not taken over book publishing. Penguin retained those rights, and they are the ones making the changes.

  Wrong! https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-acquires-iconic-roald-dahl-story-company https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-acquires-iconic-ro... RDSC had to approve the changes.

    > RDSC had to approve the changes. Where in the link does it say that?

You've pasted this numerous times in this thread. And been told just as often you are plain wrong. Why are you spreading this misinformation?

  The correction came after my comments. You could see that in the timestamps of my comments vs the correction. So stop spreading misinformation about my misinformation. Edit: Yeah it wasn't misinformation: https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-acquires-iconic-roald-dahl-story-company https://about.netflix.com/en/news/netflix-acquires-iconic-ro... The article posted we are commenting on explicitly states RDSC authorized the changes.
