Some surprising debate going on in France about this:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/3852586/Victor-Hugos-family-loses-battle-to-ban-sequels.html

Frankly I'm amazed that people find something there to debate. The 
sequels do not harm the original work in the slightest way, and the 
original work is in the public domain anyway.

And yet the case seems to be hard to decide, with Hugo's family actually 
winning one trial. I'm at a loss :-\

Any similar debate in other countries? Just to undermine my faith in 
humanity a little bit more ;-)
