Is public performance of a work a derivative work?

In: Copyright Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

Rarely. Projecting a movie, with no alteration at all, would be public performance; re-cutting the film would be derivative. An example that is both public performance and derivative would be a cover performance of a song, done in an entirely different style. Both public performance and creation of a derivative work require permission from the copyright holder.
