Copyright Law (basic principle)
Posted: Thu Jan 04, 2018 1:11 am
Sorry that i started a new thread, i cannot find any other that seems suitable. Please move if deemed necessary.
I have a curious question to ask, not for very specific legal advise, but a broad principle behind.
Let's say, there is a new novel (fiction) that comes out, with title "ABC" and obviously a plot.
If i adopt the title and the plot to make a ballet, wrote original music, get choreographer to choreograped an entirely new ballet.... did i infinge on the copyright or intellectual property?
Does it make a difference if that is not a novel, but a play, and i adopt it for Opera (with my own librettist who wrote all the libretto, as play and opera text are drastically different).
In either situation, what if i wrote symphonic piece, eg a symphony or incidental music.... A symphony is much more abstract, but incidental music to play is more representational.
Just a question, i hope there could be some discussion.
