The "message below" quoted by Carol begins, "The heart of the DVD's content is information derived from Dr. Carol Simpson's book COPYRIGHT FOR SCHOOLS A PRACTICAL GUIDE 4th EDITION..."
IANAL but a writer and, as a non-academic author, I'm a bit confused. If someone produced a work based on--presumably using much language from, organization of, etc.--a book of mine (and in fact trading on my title), I believe I'd view it as a derivative work requiring my permission, for which payment would be asked. How can this be "fair use"?
Are such books as Carol's viewed differently? Does the original copyright holder have no financial or other interest in some derived works? Would a lawyer please comment?
