A fact that many screenwriters are well aware of. William Harrison, who wrote Rollerball, once said of the producers of that film, "They did everything to my script except use it."

It also means that a company is free to hire somebody else to come in and update one of your manuals, at the company's discretion.

"Only the owner of a copyright in a work has the right to prepare,
or authorize someone else to create, a new version of that work."
