Why doesn't this trope cover fanmade remakes of movies (i.e. Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation, Our Robocop Remake, Our Footloose Remake, etc)?
Hide / Show RepliesI dunno. Might be something for this thread.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanDoes this cover remade engines, which usse the original games' assets but is a ground-up remake of the app itself?
Get out of my mind, idea! I already have an idea in there!Does the remake have to be finished to be added? If not, is there a reason openmw isn't on here?
I didn't change the page because I'm not 100% sure of this, but I don't think you can lose a copyright for not defending it. I know this is true of _trademarks_, but not of copyright.
No signature at present. (Except for these two sentences fragments.) Hide / Show RepliesNo, you can't lose a copyright simply because you aren't defending it. You are allowed to enforce copyrights selectively. Otherwise, Fanfiction.net would be flat-out illegal.
Copyrights don't go away until they run out.

Derivative works have their own copyrights for the derived material; I figured that would be a major factor. (It would hurt to want to do a Wii port of your work and find you can't do it right because a fan already wrote the best motion-control code....)
