- pdntspa 4y agoThis sort of copyright absurdity warrants flouting the rules as often as is realistically possible. It may be an overreach backed by law, but that makes it no less of an overreach.
- glandium 4y agoNote, I don't have a strong opinion wrt copyright infringement in the case OP is about, but words are important. Let's not pretend it's "inspired".
- autoexec 4y agoTrue, I do feel that some cases take copyright protection way too far and we're all worse off for it. Here's another example of that from the US: https://rpjlaw.com/blurred-lines-copying-songs-musical-style-enough-warrant-copyright-infringement/ https://rpjlaw.com/blurred-lines-copying-songs-musical-style... Overbroad copyright protections are often granted, but it's never a good thing for anyone except the shortsighted artists who stand to directly benefit from censoring their peers and preventing the rest of us from having a richer culture.
