In some cases, yes, but it's risky. If the true story is a matter of public record and there are no privacy concerns related to it, you might be able to write without permission. But if the story is personal and could potentially harm or invade the privacy of someone, you should not write without permission. It's always a good idea to consult a legal expert if you're unsure whether you need permission or not when basing your screenplay on a true story.

It depends. If the story is in the public domain, you generally can. But if it involves living people and their personal experiences, it's best to get permission to avoid legal issues.

No, not always. If the true story is about private individuals or events that are protected by privacy laws, you will likely need permission. However, if it's a historical event that is widely known and doesn't involve any current legal restrictions, you may be able to write a screenplay without permission. For example, writing about a famous battle from centuries ago would likely be okay without seeking specific permission. But if you're writing about a recent scandal involving specific people, you should get their consent.
