I know that for copyright of musicial works you can get another copyright
for an adapted or changed version.  A remix of an existing song can
obtain another copyright for that remixed version.  At least, that's
my understanding of it.  However, you can't do any of this without
the permission of the one who admins the copyright.  He had to have
copyright control over the original works in order to have colorized
versions created.
 
Come to think of it the same Form SR to copyright recorded works I've
used for music is also used by filmmakers.
