As someone else said, yes, my comment was kind of a joke. Flavored with a bit of cynicism. Money has a way of finding the path of least resistance, and I bet it was awfully tempting to make a copy of that drive. The cover-up down the road would be fairly simple. Just say that, yes, Terry had most of his WIPs destroyed, but that he had nearly finished a few novels and had sent them along to his agent for the world to enjoy.
Still, ethics conversations always intrigue me. By what standard is it wrong, in your eyes, to casually speculate about what lawyers and publishers might do with the manuscripts of a dead writer?
