Rockbox gets cease-and-desistedRockbox gets cease-and-desistedPosted Apr 17, 2006 19:57 UTC (Mon) by moxfyre (guest, #13847)Parent article: Rockbox gets cease-and-desisted
(a) How is it a copyright violation if it doesn't use the code or graphics of the original game?
(b) If it's the "concept" or rules of the game that are copyrighted... don't I remember this game from my TI calculator in around 1995?

Game concepts are not copyrightable Posted Apr 17, 2006 19:59 UTC (Mon) by stevenj (guest, #421) [Link] According to the US Copyright Office:The idea for a game is not protected by copyright. The same is true of the name or title given to the game and of the method or methods for playing it.
Rockbox gets cease-and-desisted Posted Apr 17, 2006 21:12 UTC (Mon) by TwoTimeGrime (guest, #11688) [Link] I remember games like this on my Commodore 64 about 20 years ago. This guy needs to hire a lawyer before he emails people about violating copyright.
