A Roblox game is committing copy-right?

[TheGamer_raptor]

Hi! This is a message for the owner of lethal company... recent I have found out there is a game named "Brutal Company" in Roblox. It has very obviously coped off of lethal company like monsters. Scavenging, the literally front page and he literally name. I just though I would let you know.

If You actually click on the game, it reads: "Inspired By Lethal Company" So, no its not commiting copy

Gameplay concepts can't be copyrighted.

tell that to Warner Bro's, with the nemesis system that they wrongfully got the patent for

i dont think its committing copy-right since is says "inspired by Lethal Company", and is not 100% same. Gameplay concepts can't be copyrighted.

Bro, why do you think that the developer should ban this game in Roblox, people who don't have enough money can play there

As others have said, you can't copyright gameplay concepts. If the monsters look different enough it doesn't matter if they behave the same it's still not copyright infringement. If you're curious, google "Street Fighters vs. Fighters History" for an example of just how much a shameless rip-off can get away with.

Oh, I didn’t know that. I know v little about it tbh, but I’d imagine if it got out of hand something could be done right?

People here really malding at the idea of a 12yo making more money than them by migrating a gameplay concept over to Roblox instead of doing it themselves and take first mover advantage.

I dunno, I think everyone generally hates the concept of someone being lazy more than making more money. Otherwise you’d have to be mad at a very specific percentage of people. Laziness should never be rewarded or tolerated anywhere.

Like if you’re gonna do anything in life, don’t half ass it. Work for it. I never really followed the “ur just jealous” counter because its rather petty and unfounded in it’s own right - you can usually tell pretty clearly if someone is jealous about something as paltry as money.

Inspired by isn't a pass. Author protection states that an agreement needs to be reached between the author and the copy's author to say that their is copyright.

If you write and try to sell a story that's nearly identical to Harry Potter, doesn't matter if you said you were 'inspired', it's still theft, and blatant disrespect of the original work.

So, if the kid behind that roblox game didn't get an explicive statement from LC's dev to copy the concept that blatantly, it's copyright.

It wouldn't be copyright if the concept was the only copied things, cause salvaging ♥♥♥♥ with monsters tracking you isn't new. What's new is the monster, the branding (off brand is CP infringement yes) behavior and overall setting. And that is subject to copyright.

So, in the off chance that LC's dev takes action, that kid's in trouble and so is roblox for hosting the game without proper verification
