Shakespeare is dead.

He has no copyright on Hamlet.

So no, they didn't steal

I'm afraid I'm going to need Redstone to weigh in on this before I can accept that.

Off topic rant:

The "dead father" trope sucks so much. Very few of my favorite literary or cinematic works don't use that trope to a degree.

I almost didn't follow the ASOIAF novels after GoT because of Ned getting killed.

I'd say he was an early adopter of this theory.

So, uh...

I never heard this before. Saw the original when I was 21.

I know this, if I were to do something similar on YouTube, I would get hit with copyright infringement right away.
