The issue here is that the Grimms sanitized and changed stories, but then released them under their own name, just like Anderson.
Changing the text and claiming that they are still the versions written by those people is the issue.
By all means sanitise and change fairy stories as much as you like, but they must be released under the new authors name, not the originals.
- roywiggins 2y agothe article is complaining about adaptations in general and Disney in particular, which aren't billed as "The Brothers Grimm's Cinderella" etc. it's specifically complaining that the nastier bits were removed at all, not that doing so was impugning the Grimms' authorial intent
