A lot of Shakespeare plays have contemporary precursors or are retellings of old stories - IIRC some of Shakespeare's work might be considered 'best of breed' type refinements on common storylines and themes of the time. Ironic to consider the possibility that Shakespeare's work is of such acclaim now, but may have been produced in ways that modern IP law would inhibit or bar.
