"A derivative work is a work based on or derived from one or more already existing
works. Also known as a “new version,” a derivative work is copyrightable ifit includes what copyright law calls an “original work of authorship.” Any work
in which the editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship is a derivative work
or a new version." Musical example would be;
• Sound recording
(CD in which two of the ten selections were previously
published online)
Well, unfortunately for them we did publish them online. I have the original recordings that are timestamped and dated, and even if the derivitae works have been copyrighted it is of little importance in a court of law should I consider legal action in the future to recoup my creative investment in the works.
The new works are so bad that I actually would be embarassed for it to be known that I had a part of their creation, so maybe I should just forget it because there is no hope for anything on this CD to become !
