Reply to comment by momentimori 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.

King James Bible isn't copyrighted, but protected by the Crown. Same with Book of Common Prayer.

Both are protected by the Monarch, not any copyright laws.
