Is it considered an copyright violation to write a documentary about real events into a novel?
Writing a documentary about a real event into a novel for the purpose of making money or promoting a certain bad idea may constitute copyright violation. According to the provisions of the third paragraph of article 10 of the "copyright law", the adaptation, translation, compilation, and sorting of existing works are within the scope of protection of the right to adapt works as stipulated in article 13 of the copyright law. A documentary was one of the existing works. If it was adapted into a novel for the purpose of profit or to promote some kind of bad ideas, it might constitute copyright.
