We are a school media company. A classmate submitted a piece of paper to us. It is a story adapted from the story of the song " Conversion ". We think it is well written, but we don't know if it can be published. Is it suspected of copyright? Please give me some pointers!

To adapt a song into a novel, one needed to obtain permission from the copyright owner of the song. The rights of the original song copyright owner must be respected, including the rights of adaptation, translation, information network transmission, and so on. If the original song was adapted into a novel or other form of literary work without the permission of the copyright owner, it might involve copyright disputes. Therefore, when adapting a song into a novel, one should first understand the relevant copyright laws and regulations and obtain the authorization of the copyright owner as much as possible. If they were unable to obtain authorization, they would need to comply with relevant laws and regulations to avoid possible legal risks.
