It actually looks like she's accused of shooting someone who'd been with her friend group that night

Doesn't make it right in the slightest, at least as far as I can tell

I'm firmly of the opinion that US prisons in particular are barbaric, inhumane institutions, though. As it stands, she's been held without bail awaiting trial for over half a year. I don't think that'd be appropriate, even if she was kept prisoner in safe and comfortable conditions.

I think we have to make a distinction between legally entitled to do something and whether they should do something. Based on current copyright laws, the copywriter holders are absolutely entitled to change the work. As the owners of art, they shouldn't change it from what the artist did. If I owned the Mona Lisa, I would be able to draw a mustache on her but it would be disrespectful to Di Vinci and all his fans.

What?

Your argument is baffling...

​

So i write a book, and just because I dont specifically state that my published work cant be modified... its open season on modifications?

Might be legal... but how can you in good conscience publish Dahl as the author of the novel after editing, after the dude died....
