At what point does an artist's work cease to be his/hers to modify?

Asked by zarnold (708points) August 14th, 2010

I’m really frustrated that you simply can’t find Star Wars eps. IV-VI on DVD in their original incarnations. Should an artist have so much control over the presentation of his work? Should he be able to modify it and then expect the modification to be retroactive, even after it has become a classic and part of popular culture?
