peter pan as derivative work

Thesis Note:

I almost missed the Stanford CIS's website report about the Somma Case.

It seems that children's author Emily Somma has written a derivative work of the Peter Pan tales entitled After the Rain. Although original creator J.M. Barrie's copyright is long expired, folks who hold copyrights on other Pan derivative works are suing Somma. The Stanford Center is defending her case pro bono.
