1. No matter how clever or original, no title is the property of the person who wrote it. Accordingly, an estate (or anyone else) lacks any basis for asserting a right to a title.
2. I dare say there have been many times more examples of creators doing terrible things. Anyone can protest anything: that's free speech, but meaningless. And using Sondheim as an example not only is of no greater import but is also ironic because both living and dead he has done precisely what he was criticizing.Finally, I think you have a causation issue.
3. There is quite a bit of presumption in saying that estates are not respecting the trust they have been given. That assumes the point you are trying to prove. I think most decedents have given their literary executors trust because they feel they will act consistent with the best interests that they have set out for the estate. See Sondheim. |
