You're right, I think, and it's a little scary that this angle is being downvoted. Yes, it's erasure. Literally and figuratively. It's harmful. Yes, it removes incentive to create, and learn, and be challenged. It blurs truth and enables very real horrors of control. It's dangerous. No creative person wants any of this for their work. It's demoralizing. Only greedy publishers and rights-holders have pushed for this, and it's entirely out of short-sighted self-interest. The pretense that this is to protect the public is sooo thin. If you're a parent who feels the need to buy a sanitized Dahl, I have to wonder what you're hoping to accomplish. Sanitized Dahl isn't Dahl, so what's the point?
