   It is certainly not "unowned" in the sense that the first   
   person who finds it can pick it up and claim ownership   
   of it.   
      
   There is existing ownership - the public.   
      
   Although this is presumably a semantic debate. I don't care   
   if you want to say Hamlet is unowned rather than owned by   
   the public.
