See v. Durang (1983) was a case where the author of a play claimed that another playwright had based a second play on a draft script that the plaintiff had written, infringing on its copyright. The court refused to consider the process by which the second play had been created, but chose to simply compare the end results. The court found no infringement, coining the axiom, "Copying deleted or so disguised as to be unrecognizable is not copying." ==Background== John William See wrote the play ''Fear of Acting''. Christopher Durang wrote another play, ''The Actor's Nightmare''. There is some similarity in the underlying idea of an inexperienced actor being thrust into a leading role - or in See's play into three different roles. Durang was alleged to have had access to a draft version of See's play. See complained of an infringement of his copyright in ''Fear of Acting'' to a district court. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「See v. Durang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
