Sounds almost transformative when you put it that way. You’re saying they took the content, and turned it into something completely different than its source? Hm.
I can read a book, like it, create a screenplay with changes, and make a movie. It's different, but not completely different, and it is infringement.
I can even create an entirely new story, but using the same canon and characters, that too is infringement.
What people don't get is that you can't play games. TV lawyers are drama, and made up gibberish. Judges won't tolerate mental gymnastics, and attempts to explain away legalities rarely succeed.
