Reply to comment by RealisticCommentBot 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]

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!
