Oscar Wilde of course never made a secret of his literary borrowing; to Max Beerbohm he once said,
"Of course, I plagiarize. It is the privilege of the appreciative"

(Ellmann, Oscar Wilde 375–76).

Given Wilde's stated outlook, Sir Edward Clarke must have been quite busy.

Plagiarize!
Let no one else's work evade your eyes!
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes!
So don't shade your eyes,
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize -
Only be sure always to call it please 'research'.

- Tom Lehrer

Intellectual property issues were not exactly the biggest of Wilde's legal concerns.

Stealing the idea of one person is plagiarism. Stealing the ideas of several persons is research.

"Soldiers have many faults, but they have one redeeming merit; they are never worshippers of force. Soldiers more than any other men are taught severely and systematically that might is not right. The fact is obvious. The might is in the hundred men who obey. The right (or what is held to be right) is in the one man who commands them." - Gilbert K. Chesterton

The Name of Britain's Oldest Pub Is Not Sitting Well With PETA

May. 21, 2015

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, is the oldest pub in Britain. It's been around since the eighth century and has held its current name since 1872.

But now, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the bar to change its name "to something that instead will 'reflect compassion' for chickens," the U.K. Daily Mirror reported.

PETA's suggestion? Ye Olde Clever Cocks.

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks takes its name from the once-popular sport of cockfighting, which was banned in Britain in the 1800s. PETA Director Mimi Bekhechi told the Mirror that people today are �appalled� by the idea of forcing birds to fight each other.

�Changing the name would reflect today�s rejection of needless violence and help celebrate chickens as the intelligent, sensitive and social animals they are,� Bekhechi said.

Former pub employee Alasdair Melville said PETA should be worrying more about what's going on with actual animals rather than the name of a bar.
