Quoted from reltham:See this article on the derivative work topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_work That holds more weight that anything PPS can say or do on the subject. Nothing against PPS here, just stating the legal facts that he must abide by just as you must.
Interesting read. Especially the part below that reminded me of CCC:
>>In Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc. v. Nintendo of America, Inc.,[12] the appellate court held that it was a fair use for owners of copies of video games, such as Super Mario Bros., to use Galoob's product the Game Genie to customize the difficulty or other characteristics of the game by granting a character more strength, speed, or endurance. Nintendo strongly opposed Galoob's product, allegedly because it interfered with the maintenance of the "Nintendo Culture," which Nintendo claimed was important to its marketing program.[13] The court held, among other things, that the fair use defense shielded Galoob's conduct. The court said that "a party who distributes a copyrighted work cannot dictate how that work is to be enjoyed. Consumers may use ... a Game Genie to enhance a Nintendo Game cartridge’s audiovisual display in such a way as to make the experience more enjoyable."
