Question by “Kh a a a a a n n” ! !: Would writing “fan fiction” based on an old TV show, and having it posted on the web, be against copyright law?
Suppose there’s a website that posts “fan fiction” stories based on a TV show from the 1960s or 1970s.
Would contributing a story, and having it put in such a site, be a violation of copyright laws? Would it be illegal? If so, in what way? And what laws would be broken?

It would be a derivative copy, so it would violate copyright law.
It is up to the copyright holder whether they try to enforce it or not. Some don’t care, some do.
Illegal in the sense that you are violating someone’s rights, a civil violation. They could sue for penalties and/or damages, in civil court.

I need an interesting book for a book report for school. I am a freshman in highschool and I like sci-fi books that talk about outer space. It has to be acceptable highschool English class. It has to be at least 300 pages long and interesting. IT CANNOT I REPEAT IT CANNOT HAVE A MOVIE BASED ON IT!! Thank you.
We are required to read 300 pages no less. If we read a book that has a movie we don’t get credit.
