A criminal case of a publisher charged with breaking copyright laws for publishing Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” was dropped by a regional court on Tuesday in Poland. The Wroclaw regional court ruled that a publisher, broke copyright law by printing 3,000 copies of the Polish translation of Mein Kampf, in 2005, the PAP news agency reported.
Arguing that the harm caused by the small-scale publishing of the book was minimal – especially since Marek S. agreed in a 2005 civil trial to halt printing and withdraw the work from bookstores at his own cost – the court agreed to drop the case against the publisher for a probationary period of two years, PAP reported.
The German state of Bavaria holds the rights to the book, in which Hitler expressed his hatred of Jews and desire to conquer territory in Eastern Europe.
“Mein Kampf” is banned from public display or sale in Germany, though it is available for historical research in libraries.
