Does fan fiction written by a fan of the book Game of Thrones (which uses characters and settings from the book) violate the author's copyright rights? Discuss.?
What will be an ideal response?
Yes. Only the author has the right to prepare (or authorize others to prepare) derivative works. Fan fiction that uses characters, settings, etc., from the book thus violates the author's rights. Many authors allow fans to write fan fiction because it encourages interest in their works. Other authors prohibit such. If the fan fiction is a parody or a fair use, it might be permissible.?
