Ahhh becasue money is involved, and lawyers have a special gland (located just below the anus) that allows them to sniff out money and litigate untill they get some of it. From what I gather it has to do more with the fact that some publishers claim that their reissuing of works in new formats or in new books that have art associated with it gives them some limited protection. Its kind of like adding a few comments by local experts to a work and then copyrighting the total as a new issue...its all bogus but it keeps the lawyers happy. This is all my view as I tried to gather some data on the subject prior to making my post....and I am sure before long someone will come along and tell me how wrong I am..............but I am use to it. I have been married 30 years today.
