@hiltzikm @katrosenfield If a school library removed those books you could still buy them elsewhere. This removal means you can no longer buy new copies at all. Doesn't that have a bigger effect on the ability of people to consume the art and ideas they want even though no rights were violated? — PolitiTweet.org

@hiltzikm @katrosenfield As I said in my piece, it is possible for someone to have the right to do something and for that thing to be bad for freedom of inquiry. This is plainly an example. the artist is dead, and willing readers can no longer buy books some want. — PolitiTweet.org

@hiltzikm @katrosenfield Put another way, if the Toni Morrison estate decided they would no longer allow her novels to be sold, and started buying up old copies and destroying them, no rights would be violated... But wouldn't that be a bad thing? And why is that? — PolitiTweet.org
