Anne Frank Diary Copyright Expiration Dispute: 2016 or 2051?

Comparing Anne Frank and Hitler is classy.

Both present a valuable personal account of the same event.

I don't think Anne Frank was present at the Munich Beer Hall Putsch.

I was making a joke.

Yes I assumed so. I was playing along by pretending to take your joke seriously. Geez.

What incentive will the next generation of Anne Franks have to write similar diaries if we erode copywright protections?

I was kind of hoping Disney would make a 'Anne Frank' reboot sometime soon.

The Quentin Tarantino reboot, a la Inglourious Basterds, would be more interesting.
