The act of copying or adapting someone elseâs work is a restricted act. Any adaptation will be legally regarded as a derived work; so if you simply adapt the work of others, it will still be their work, and they have every right to object you if publish such a work when they have not given you permission to do so.
Copyright covers both published and unpublished works. Federal copyright law provides the owner of the copyright with the exclusive right to copy, distribute, perform, and make derivative works. Ideas cannot be copyrighted. Only the actual expression of your idea in a fixed form is protected by copyright law. If someone uses your exact idea for a research project on the Battle of Normandy, and she interviews the same subjects and takes pictures of the same landscape, but does not use your words or your pictures, you may or may not have legal redress, but not under copyright law.
