Talk:Peter Pan

Oi! Doesn't the copyright on this continue, by act of parliament, to raise money for Great Ormond Street Chilren's Hospital? So aren't you ROBBING children by breaking this copyright?88.144.61.222 19:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes! The following is from the Great Ormonde Street Hospital website. I will take steps Apwoolrich 20:45, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Copyright ownership Peter Pan logo 2003 GOSHCC

J M Barrie’s gift of all the rights to Peter Pan has provided a vital source of income to Great Ormond Street Hospital ever since they were given to the hospital in 1929.

Although the UK copyright expired in 1987, 50 years after Barrie’s death, former Prime Minister Lord Callaghan successfully proposed an amendment to the Copyright Act 1988 which gave Great Ormond Street the unique right to royalties from Peter Pan, forever. (Section 301, Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988).

In 1996 copyright protection was extended from 50 to 70 years throughout the European Union, which means that Peter Pan now enjoys revived copyright in Europe until 2007. A similar Copyright Extension Act was passed in the USA with effect from October 1998 granting copyright there until 2023.

I'm blanking these pages as per copyright violation. Nothing has been done, and this is currently illegal and immoral. 57.66.51.165 19:35, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Re:FYI
A Google "link:" search indicates that there are no pages (indexed by Google) linking to them, so deletion in this case is definitely OK. --Eliyak T · C 02:54, 16 January 2011 (UTC)


 * please take a look at this archived discussion. Have we missed an opportunity to restore the deleted 1904 play by Barrie? -- George Orwell III (talk) 04:06, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
