Yikes. I’m all for people being held accountable for their words and actions, but this is not that. If an author wants to release a new edition of a book because they themselves have evolved in their thinking, great. If an author wants to stop publication of the original work, fine. But a publisher revising a work on behalf of an author is not fine. It’s legal, they own the rights, but it’s not okay. Hopefully this changes the dynamics of rights agreements for works of art and creators can bar opt rights holders for unilaterally revising a creative work. This seems more like a legal issue rather than a culture issue.
