I have been meditating on J.D. Salinger and his works recently and his very concerted efforts (through his dilligent lawyers) to prevent an unauthorised sequel to his signature work, The Catcher In The Rye which apparently is available for purchase online.
He is 90 years old and has recently broken his hip and is suffering otherwise from the effects of old age. How would such a man, who is publically known to be demanding of his privacy and control of his works, handle finding out or indeed comprehend that anyone with a web browser can get hold of a badly edited copy of Catcher with a simple Google search and not pay a brass razoo to read and share it?
Some of his unpublished works are so inaccessible that you have to go to a particular library in the United States and be watched while you read it in a special reading room, but it's so easy to rip him off with respect to his published works?
Is there a simple answer to this problem, or are we stuck with watching authors such as Salinger getting ripped off?
Would it helped if we applied to such authors and their publishers to have their works accessible through places like Amazon or Sony stores or would that make reader-author relations worse?
