> Essentially any movie adaptation of a book can't be copyright infringement based on this being the bar; I'd agree with that. A movie adaptation (with changes) should be allowed under copyright because it's clearly transformative and creative. Copyright should protect against reproduction without compensation, it shouldn't be used to prevent new artistic works from being created even when they are based on existing works. That's how I feel about it anyway, although sadly the law we have today in the US would disagree.
