Journal Journal: Schloss v. Stephen Joyce -- Long-lived Copyright Vs. History
It's mostly about book (Lucia Joyce: To Dance in the Wake) and related website ability to quote from Joyce's works to provide backdrop of critical and analytical commentary. A version of the book with about 30 pages of material cut out of it was published in 2003.
Some of may have to do with the history of one of James Joyce children whom was in psychiatric care.
The Joyce family has also removed writtings from the National Library of Ireland and has in otherways obscured or destroyed historical records. This sounds like a poster-child case for one reason why overly long copyrights are bad for society.
