Peter Pan & Shoutcast

[skreidle]

In response to my recent post, jazzfish offers:

Nifty trivia followup, from the Puffin Classics edition of Peter Pan:

"In 1929 J.M. Barrie donated all rights in Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. In 1987, fifty years after Barrie's death, copyright expired under UK law. However, the following year a unique Act of Parliament restored royalty income from all versions of Peter Pan to the Hospital, which means that the very sick children there will continue to benefit from J.M. Barrie's generous gift for as long as the hospital exists."

Work today has involved pulling more wire, and helping a secretary get Winamp playing Shoutcast feeds on her computer so she could have music in the office. :)

Now that I've actually checked it out, I may look into Shoutcast more as a musical source once I'm back home on cable. :)
