Thanks for the clarification. In its light, I'm coming to the following conclusion: US copyright italian author's right ("diritto d'autore italiano") ---------------------------------------------------------------------- compilation work <---> collective work ("opera collettiva") derivative work <---> creative elaboration ("elaborazione creativa") In the USA, a compilation work is a collective work has its own copyright and thus is also a derivative work.
