Aaditya Bajpai & Shreya Bajpai

What exactly is the source of the problem? A problem occurs whenever there is a danger to the original authorā€™s right to maintain their exclusivity. In line with the law of intellectual property rights, every artist is given protection for their work.

Fan fictions are considered secondary art, and as such, they present a significant risk of copyright infringement.
