This is true. I think the problem has changed but it still there. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it’s a reliable academic source. I just think it’s ironic that an academic is saying it’s a moral duty to protect it.

As an example, there is an American author B.B.Alston whose popular books for children were translated into dozen languages.

He has a page on Polish Wikipedia: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.B._Alston
