Hello Colleagues,

I'm going to be very brief and to the point....


1. An Author created a book
2. The Publisher published her book


Now,

The author wants to create her book to multimedia (in digital format) and
she asked me to do it.


THE QUESTION..........

What copyright authority do the publishers have over this creation?  In
other words, can they stop me from creating a multimedia of the book?




TIA
