Adaptation v/s Copyright Infringement

The word 'adaptation' connotes innocence. The minute we hear or read this word, we pass it off as something that is an innocent or general attempt to recreate a piece of work that has already been produced or composed and appreciated. The adaptation of any work signifies a bona fide replication of the original. But, is it always done in good faith?

The right to adaptation of an original work emerges from the grant of copyright to the same. It is an empowering right, as it gives the author not only the authority over his/her work, but also the freedom to present it to the audience, in the way he/she deems fit. The law fully protects the composer or author as he/she has full suzerainty over the details of the piece of art and no one can infringe upon it, without inviting legal consequences.
