This illustrates the stupidity and tragedy of copyright. The person who wrote it (assuming she didn't just adapt it) is long dead, and won't enjoy the fruits of her labours. Which were slight, anyway- compared to, say the works of her contemporaries who were developing antibiotics like penicillin at the time. The moolah will fall to parasitic IP owners, who put nothing creative into it, or if they are lucky to descendants of the author, who also didn't create it. If penicillin was ever patented, it lapsed at least 50 years ago. The descendants of those creators get zilch, which is as it should be, and any pharmaceutical manufacturer can make penicillin, which is also as it should be.

Why is small and unimportant creativity privileged above things that change the world? (rhetorical question)
