Sorry if this seems like a simple question, but I am unfortunately very unfamiliar with many copyright/intellectual property laws. I'm writing a screenplay that involves someone having their work published, and so a plot point I had working in my mind seems to rest on this question.
For example, if an author is published, and a film studio wants the rights to that work, is it necessary to go through the writer first, or does the publisher have full write to sign off rights without the author's consent?
Thanks!
