  1. One of my first summer jobs was being an activities counsellor at a provincial park. One night, we were doing a Hallowe’en in the summer event, and I was reading Edgar Allan Poe stories aloud to kids. About halfway through a story, a supervisor came up to me and told me the stories were too complicated for children, so I had to simplify the language. This made me very unhappy, especially since I’d first read Poe as a little kid. #EdgarAllanPoe #SummerJob #bowdlerization

    #Copyright law now allows copyrights to pass to heirs, who might mangle or restrict access to the author's work.

    But tho I often criticize copyright law, I don't blame it for this travesty.
