Derived versions

It has long been the case that one can publish a summary or a paraphrase of a written document. Copyright applies only to the exact original text. Newspapers will thereby reproduce the scoops of their rivals.

The same will apply to pictures and to music. Anyone can sing their own version of a pop hit. Artists are on to a loser if they try to stop that.
