"Even if you did do that: why would anyone buy it in lieu of the original?"
Because of market confusion. I would generate sales from people who didn't realize they were not buying the original. This happens right now but it would be much worse if we removed all the controls.
"You seem to be assuming that derivative work doesn't require hard work of its own. I tried to make the point that this game is itself a derivative of other things, without which it couldn't exist."
I didn't say that at all. Honestly that seems irrelevant. It also requires hard work to plan and successfully rob a bank.

- nightpool 11y agoPlease don't equivocate between trademark and copyright law—it muddles the waters and degrades the discussion. The original article and its points were all about copyright law. Releasing a game called "undertale" is a trademark law question.
