When you rewrite a book like this, does it reset the copyright? Matilda was set to become public domain in 2060 (70 years after Dahl's death). With the books now owned by a corporation and essentially recreated by them, the copyright extends another fifty years.

The rewritten version gets a fresh copyright timer of its own, but the original's copyright still expires the same time it was always going to.
