Was 'Lord of the Rings' considered an copyright violation?

The Lord of the Rings was a classic fantasy novel based on the novel by JR R Tolkien. Due to copyright issues, the novel caused some controversy when it was first published. According to copyright law, it is illegal to copy, distribute, transmit, adapt, or perform a work without the permission of the copyright owner. Therefore, when Lord of the Rings was first published, some people claimed that the adaptation and distribution of the book violated their legal rights. However, according to the relevant provisions of the copyright law, copyright could be granted to the creator of the work or to the creator of the adaptation. If JR R Tolkien had already granted the copyright to the creator of The Lord of the Rings, then the copyright protection of the book would include the adaptation and subsequent performances. However, if the copyright was not explicitly granted to the creator, the adaptation and performance still needed the permission of the copyright owner. Therefore, whether or not it constituted an infringement required a specific analysis of the specific situation. If the copyright owner of Lord of the Rings had explicitly authorized the adaptation and performance, then these actions would not be considered as copyright infringement. However, if you need to adapt or perform without the permission of the copyright owner, it may be deemed as copyright violation. It should be noted that the copyright of the original work should be respected when adapting and performing the literary work to avoid the occurrence of copyright violation.
