I mean, Hatetris probably wasn't using the Tetris trademarks properly, right? Aren't both just remix culture?

- simondotau 5y agoMorally? I suppose if you squint hard enough. Legally though, just because one person's proprietary work relies upon another person's proprietary work, doesn't mean it suddenly becomes open source or public domain.
- Pfhreak 5y agoI'm just surprised the community made the critique on this version but not the other one.
- simondotau 5y agoHonestly I’m not surprised. The prior work could be argued as being fair use of the Tetris copyright. It certainly isn’t stealing any market from any official licensed Tetris products or services. Morally, I can find it very easily defensible. This “Lovetris” work is a blatant copying and republishing of someone else’s proprietary work effort with no permission. Morally, I don’t see this as an egregious abuse, but I can see why this community would object to someone not acting in the spirit of open source licensing.
