what if we were talking about a found work of Shakespeare, Twain, Picasso, etc.? -- nm - zork Nov 19, 10:20 6
- Picasso left crap all over the place and didn't care if it was bad -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 10:28 1
  - I was positing if they had given such a provision -- nm - zork Nov 19, 10:32
- no instructions to destroy? publish away. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 19, 10:20 3
  - I meant if it someone this historically important had given these instructions and a "new" work was found? -- nm - zork Nov 19, 10:23 2
    - i know that it WOULD get published, but i really don't think it should. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 19, 10:24 1
      - I hear you, although I wonder if lapse of copyright would mean that those estates would be able to control it anyway. -- nm - zork Nov 19, 10:27
That having been said, however, I do think there is academic and artistic merit in publishing it anyway. -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 10:17 5
- ST is just not respecting personal wishes today. -- nm - Elf Andie Nov 19, 10:18 4
  - I like how some people will respect the wishes of the new mom...but not the dead author. Hmmm.... -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 10:32 2
