The clock is ticking on the Berenstain Bears

It’s gotta go!

Oh? So you think the author(s) will decide to stop selling their books on their own? Because that is essentially what happened with the Dr Seuss books. Not the authors, but the people who own the rights to the books.

Are you in favor of not letting people control what happens to their own property?

Wow. That is a hell of an angle to look at it though. But it means nothing

If they decline to publish, they should lose the rights.

Rights are provided so the owner or the owners estate can profit from the works, if they don't feel like profiting from it. why do they need the rights to it?

Welcome to the public domain.

It is not an angle. It is fact.

Just because a university tears down their statue of Lincoln doesn’t change the level of lunacy.

What is happening with Dr. Seuss' works, and what is being alluded to in the OP, is the “chilling effect”, wherein freedom of expression or other essential rights are not overtly denied, but are suppressed by intimidation.

Though much more difficult to protect against through legislation, in the end, such applications of the chilling effect, and those who defend it, ought not be seen by any sane society as being much more acceptable than the outright censorship by force, or those who defend that. The intent and the effect are exactly the same.

Its a good thing that I've hung onto my collection of their books all these years.

God bless you always!!!
