Question:
I read a script about a specific era and challenge in Jewish history. For example: 2 sisters in the Spanish inquisition, one who wants to escape and one who doesn't.
I'd like to write a script based on the same concept but with a total new storyline. Does the original writer have to be notified or asked permission?
Answer:
Hello,
Technically it is halachically permitted, because you are not taking the script from him, rather only the basic idea.
Best wishes
