As a writer, I really would not like someone taking something I wrote, trashing it and then have that person’s version be the one everyone knows.
On a personal level I can absolutely empathize, but respectfully, I don't see why that should be the state's concern. The goal of IP law should be to promote the creation of good art, not to make sure artists' wishes are respected.
So, for example, theft should be illegal, because a world of unrestricted IP theft might be one in which we would get a lot less art. But allowing Tolkien to block adaptations of his bestseller 14 years after publication was probably not good for art.
The creator of Pepe the frog might disagree. It's a fine line.
Why be so precious? If it's good it's good
