[QUOTE=packs;2316454]I'm not really sure how to feel about the Roald Dahl controversy. His most famous work, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has already gone through extensive revisions since it was first released. The Oompa-Loompa's represented in the movie are nothing like they're originally described in his book. And editions of this book have featured altered descriptions for the Oompa-Loompa for a pretty long time. Mostly because even the original version was considered offensive shortly after it came out.[/QUOTE

maybe can make a law that allows someone to make a 'different' book that is similar but has the 'changes' and they cant be sued by the original publisher...maybe give the original publisher a chance to 'change' it and if not then you can do a rip off version for profit...that way the original doesnt have to change if they dont want to change it..and capitalism is intact as well

I think you're misunderstanding. The original publisher of Charlie chose to release an updated version of the book with altered descriptions for the Oompa-Loompa's because of backlash directed at the original version.

I don't know where capitalism comes in.

i was giving a thought as to how to handle future issues when the government wants to ban or change words used by authors..
