I went into a local bookshop and found a newly published book by...
John Wyndham. Who died about 40 years ago!


And another thing - there's no way the estate should benefit from his
work, surely?! Proceeds should go to the state, such as it is.

What if the *people* who are legally his "estate" worked to help bring the
work to publication?

As before, the general question is why *you* should assume you can take
without payment what others have offered only on the basis that you should
pay them the price (and conditions) they specify? Why should your wishs
overrule theirs? You have a free choice to buy or not. So far what you
claim as your "moral" position simply seems to be "I'll do what I like
regardless of the stated wishes of others I then affect." Can't say that
seems very "moral" to me.

Slainte,

Jim
