By your logic a plot summary would be a derivative work.
You can't recreate a movie from a plot summary, same way you can't recreate a movie from a torrent file.
- Retric 14y agoA summary is not created though a purely mechanical process, but a torrent is. PS: If you created a random file that happened to contain a movie's hash your free and clear. If you keep generating random files and comparing them to a movie until you get the one you want your not free and clear. Same bit's, different process different result.
