But I thought Shakespeare was public domain? Found a FAQ site about it: http://eldred.cc/ea_faq.htmlThe question in question (lol) is number 3

Webber owns his *version* of Phantom, I believe. The novel as published by Gaston Leroux, is, as far as I can tell, public domain. I think, in fact, that anything published before 1923 is public domain. *goes to look up further info*

Ok, here's the wikipedia on public domain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domainAnd this is a page turned up by a search of the publishing company of POTO, wherein at least part of the novel is posted: http://www.answers.com/topic/the-phantom-of-the-opera

*editor of doom sweeps in*
Noise is correct. According the Bern Convention agreement, works are:
-Copyrighted as soon as the work is in a medium that is accessible to two or more people (ncluding blogs, forum posts, etc.)
-Copyright lasts for 70 years starting from either the date of publication or from the death of the author - whichever is longer
-Work is considered public domain after the 70 years. One can give a work up as public domain before this time period but abandoing a piece like that is extraordinarily hard as intellectual copyright is still considered
-Works that existed before the creation of copyright (and works, I believe, before the Berne Convention) are considered public domain works.
-Estates of authors can requests copyright extensions (ie: Tolkien, Lewis estates) from a judge.
So, yes, Shakespeare - as well as the Torah, the Bible, Greek Tragedy etc. - is now considered public domain.

Stealing the Stage has a nice alliteration component but honestly, I think that Taking the Stage grabs my attention more because "T" is a stronger sound than "St".
That probably sounds weird but it just has a stronger impact when I say it in my head so I like it better.
