While I think your reasoning is noble, even commendable, I don't think it would hold up well in a civil case.
For the record, I'm in favor of this sort of "cultural hedging" as well, but I don't think it's something that most people would even think to do.

I was just arguing with books seeding "not being really something for which any valid defense can usually be given" If I should have read it as "any valid defense IN COURT can be given", then again, so sue me. But it's pretty easy to defend the morality of this case.

What is their place to contribute to the society? Is it only about pushing vampire books by living authors while withholding vampire books by deceased authors?
