> The case centered on the copyright battle involving Anne Frank's diary

If there's a copyright dispute somewhere, you can bet it's either Anne Frank's estate, Tolkien's estate, or the Beatles's old record label.

It's never the authors who actually made the work. It's always their heirs.

For more like this, see the list of banned authors on MAM. I believe JK Rowling is one.
No, Rowling is not a banned author on MAM (and that list is exactly what I thought of when posting this comment).

Hello, fellow user.

how do u expect Anne to claim copyright -_-. this is how it works, copyright. people have it and then make claims...
