One of the great literary hoaxes of all time finds itself in the news again, this time with a bizarre twist:

Sixty years after Australia's most famous literary hoax, Ern Malley and his sister Ethel are stirring up trouble again.
A legal disagreement has erupted over who owns copyright to 17 poems written under Malley's name by conservative poets James McAuley and Harold Stewart parodying modernism.
Max Harris published the poems of this "remarkable and important" poet in his literary magazine, Angry Penguins, in 1944. He was ridiculed for falling for the hoax, then prosecuted for publishing obscenities.
Now the question is, who owns the work of the non-existent poet: the creators, McAuley and Stewart, or the publisher, Harris? Or Malley himself?
