I understand that someone might be a valuable firsthand source to get interesting details and core pieces of a real story right. But how can someone secure the movie rights or book rights from them? Stuff happening to you doesn’t exactly mean you’ve created something and should have copyright, or does it?
I think the question is more like, why should anyone have to pay to make a book/movie about things that happened to you.
Oh, I missed it.
Yes, correct. I am not planning to do my memoir 😅
