Reply to comment by EasyGh0st in TIL a special law in the UK was created to ensure that the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital will forever be able to collect royalties from stage performances, audiobooks, book releases, etc. of Peter Pan in the UK. This is the only work with an 'exception' to copyright laws. by [deleted]

because I don't think infinite copyright is a good thing. If there was an infinite copyright on shakespear to fund something that would suck because shakepear couldn't be used and entwined throughout our culture the way that his work currently is.

Are You perchance trying to irritate us by intentionally mimicking Shakespeare as you creatively misspell the name into 'Shakespear'? This whole storm in a teacup with perpetual copyright exception perhaps irks you as this misspelling would to some of us.

Quite the jab.

The funny thing is Shakespeare himself even spelled it differently every time

The man (if he did exist) took quite the liberty with his spellings. Pedents left and right still fume over such whim and foppery today!
