A derivative work uses a part or even the whole of another work as an element in its composition. This doctrine assumes the earlier work has a fixed point of origination and raises questions of how original the latter work is capable of being.
A derivative work is something that uses as an element in its composition a part or even the whole of another work. Sample-based music is often derivative for instance. The theory of derivation requires that there be a fixed and unmoving point of origination. A theory of culture which sees it as a matter of flows, change and emergent collaboration would claim that all work is derivative.
