Discussed a couple days ago:

Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck (science.org) 389 points, 196 comments

I notice how the title by Ars Technica is much less baity than Nature: "Why have papers by one of history’s most famous physicists been retracted?" vs "Why did this journal retract two 1940s papers by Max Planck?"

It’s almost like Nature doesn’t expect its readers to know who this Max Planck guy is. :-)

> The specific reason for the retractions was copyright violation, so there was nothing wrong with the actual papers from a scientific standpoint.

There is a reason why the German portmanteau word "Zensurheberrecht" ("Zensur": censorship; "Urheberrecht": the related concept to copyright in German law) exists.
