Legal Definitions - adaptation right

Definition: Adaptation right is a copyright holder's exclusive right to create new worksbased on their original work. This means that no one else can create a new work based on the original without the copyright holder's permission.

Example: Let's say an author writes a book. They have the adaptation right, which means that if a movie studio wants to make a movie based on the book, they need to get permission from the author first. The author can choose to give permission or not.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the adaptation right works. The author has the exclusive right to create new works based on their original work. This means that they have control over how their work is adapted and used by others. The movie studio cannot create a movie based on the book without the author's permission, which protects the author's creative control and ownership of their work.
