Samuel ricketson in his text book on Ip discusses this quite a bit, but miy copy is somewher on my sisters cattle farm in the middle of Queensland... I think also foucault talks about this practice in his artcile/paper/chapter on the death of the author (the title is a little different to that from memory) ... just some history for you martin ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2005 22:40:06 +0200 (CEST) From: Heiko Recktenwald <uzs106@uni-bonn.de> Subject: Re: <nettime> Using copyright to stop the publication of 'mein kampf' Hi, On Thu, 23 Jun 2005, Felix Stalder wrote: > Hitler, because he was officially registered as a Munich resident by the end of the > war. And now, Bavaria tries to use its copyrights to stop the publication in Poland This is interesting. Bavaria inherited Hitlers copyright? There were no other relatives? None?

In Sweden publisher Kalle Hagglund - who is normally known for publishing left-wing literature - was prosecuted for having published Mein Kampf back in 1992. See http://www.fib.se/mk_dom2e.html http://www.hagglundsforlag.se/forfattaredok/Hitler/Gothemkcase.htm http://www.pdcs.org/andersa/ad/copyreich/ http://www.pdcs.org/andersa/ad/copyreich/se.eng.html In the US, Houghton-Mifflin paid the royalties to the government until '79. There was an article about all that in the New York Times in 1998: >In America, the book has been continuously in print with Houghton >Mifflin since its original publication. Until the United States >entered the war, royalties were sent directly to Eher Verlag; then, >under the Trading With the Enemy Act, they were paid to the State >Department.
