Frederick, As a writer what are your responsibilities towards your readers? Do you feel obliged to tell them that what you copied and pasted from Shakespeare is actually written by him?
Here is the entirety of Shakespeare's works freely available on the internet, as it should be: http://shakespeare.mit.edu/ Would you now copy Hamlet and publish it under your own name in Goa as Amcho Shet? Neither Shakespeare nor MIT would sue you.
