Peter Pan is owned by the Great Ormond Street Hospital. When the copyright expired, the British Prime Minister proposed a unique amendment to the Copyright Act to protect the hospital's claim to the play, Peter Pan. Effectively, according to British Law, the copyright on Peter Pan will never run out. The copyright is kind of a muddle elsewhere in the world. Disney pays the hospital royalties on their 1953 film version of Peter Pan, but they've been finding ways around the law for sequels and other versions. It irritates me. I love Disney, but they are ripping off a children's hospital. Ironic, isn't it?
