Aren't they out of copyright now?
The original text of the books is out of copyright. There is no copyright in a story line, the idea for the story, just the text. Writers who rework the story as film or TV scripts or as adaptations may copyright their text as being new work though.
If any profits are made, I should it imagine it goes to the Bronte Society...I live near their offices, you know. AND near the Parsonage
People see the retelling, they buy the books. Answer: the book shops.
