Reply to comment by [deleted] 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. This is the only work with an 'exception' to copyright laws. by [deleted]

It's kinda cool, like he'll never grow old enough for his copyright to expire.

Fearless_Stab is a Bot account. stole the comment from here: https://old.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/126e6pb/til_a_special_law_in_the_uk_was_created_to_ensure/je8v0ra/

bot accounts farm karma and are then sold and/or used for astroturfing and other scams

report -> spam -> harmful bots and it might get banned eventually

maybe. accounts like yours are advertised for a few hundred bucks or more. no idea if people buy at that price or not.

more often than not though it's a coordinated scam or astroturfing network without direct person-to-person sales, i would imagine
