I disagree. If I were in charge, I would encourage factually correct reenactments and ban fake news.

An example is the long time Hollyweird trend of replacing ugly historical figures with beautiful keading people. Bonnie Parker (likely a relative of mine) was not a hottie. Pretending she was distorts the story. Ugly girls who are prodigies live different lives than pretty girls. The current fashion of replacing people of one race with people of another race distorts history. If you want a black leading lady, there are many stories to chose from.

We really ought to start thinking about better privacy rights for the dead. Seems like it would make sense to tie it to the privacy of the next of kin, or something similar, but splitting privacy rights amongst multiple people can get weird.

I mean it is a bit strange that copyright is protected decades after someone died, but privacy is pretty much gone the moment someone breathes their last.
