"Authorised" if present defeats the notion of infringement. Are you trying to ask a different question?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-23819836864721136412014-08-18T11:17:22.807+01:002014-08-18T11:17:22.807+01:00It is not impossible to imagine an authorised ada...It is not impossible to imagine an authorised adaptation of books might fail in a copyright infringement case – the works are unrecognisable in the hands of some directors. The film adaptation will truncated the book, elements are dropped while others are developed. The film treatment is then subjected to various outside influences such as focus groups with script changes to suite the market. Perhaps it becomes optional to pay the author? If the authors name brings value then likely that name would be prominently displayed, conversely if the author is foreign and unknown why bother attributing the work to the author? Perhaps this is an example of such a situation.

The Central District includes Los Angeles, which is why the case was there. <br />Braddock's appeal is <i>pro se</i>, and looks like it, with poor English, and what look like cut-and-paste quotations taken from an article or book on copyright, complete with the original reference numbers. He is basically trying to re-try the case; and I don't see that effort succeeding.Derek Freybergnoreply@blogger.com
