Comment on How are Book Bans Constitutional?

My assumption is that because “the state claimed the rights” for that specific book makes me think this is a special case in their laws
Can a US state or the federal government claim the right to someone else’s writing?

It was not directly the state claiming ownership of that book just because. After WWII ended, the alliites confiscated all assets of those who were deemed most responsible for the war including Adolf Hitler and his rights on Mein Kampf. This yielded later to the state of Bavaria owning the rights on that book.
