Hi Ryan,
Technically yes, but there are fair use exceptions that may protect you
from a law suit. If you published your Super Mario as non-prophet,
educational software, with disclaimers there is a very large chance
someone like Nintendo would leave you alone. Usually most copyright
Hi Ryan,
Pretty much. If you change the names of characters, use generic
characters, and remove the more copyright elements from a game company x
can eat rice cakes.
For example, on the USA Games list I stated if Phil removed the names
for the gosts, ccat, and Dobbi and called them mail ghost,
So, let's say I wanted to take super mario brothers, port it to vb6,
clearly state that Nintendo did all the ideas, and all I did was make
it accessible, I could then be sued for copyright infringement? Thanks

Hi,
So according to my understanding, instead of let's say using a goomba
as an enemy, I can call him let's say stompy, and Nintendo can eat

All I can say is best of luck. I personally don't think using
copyrighted material without the copyright holders permission is a good
idea, but I'm not going to argue with someone if they want to try it and
see how it goes. I did it with STFC and everything went well, but I
don't want

Yes, but donations never return the same kind of income that selling a

way to do it. I am going to officially release the game with a different

If any developers have thoughts of using any copyrighted material
it just means that if thomas is sued, he will just be sued for company
property instead of personal property.

That is exactly the issue I am facing. If I release my Tomb Raider game
and Star Wars games as fan fiction, make them open source, etc it might
be enough to cover my butt legally since I did not technically make any

Not legally. All an LLC means is that USA Games, not me personally,
would get sued for damages and they could get a court order to close USA
Games down or charge royalties from USA Games which would kill the

Hi William,
First, I'd like to point out that only a couple of sounds were used from
Tomb Raider. More specifically the death, jump, and pain sounds for
Angela Summers were taken from Tomb Raider II. However, I could easily
