[QUOTE="smf, post: 9569892, member: 159384"] In terms of a larger amount of code being copied for functional/interoperability reasons, I think this is a good comparison. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Computer,_Inc._v._Franklin_Computer_Corp[/URL]. There aren't that many cases because people generally aren't brazen to copy code wholesale and then try to defend themselves in court. Companies abusing open source licenses is kind of similar, because they turn into copyright infringements if you break the license. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_license_litigation[/URL] And a lot of that software could be argued to be frameworks/functional pieces of code. The changes made either by a computer program or person when compiling source to binary and then back again are not transformative. It would be like taking the text of a book and putting it through google translate, correcting any errors and then selling it while claiming it is your own work. It's now in a different language, but the authors copyright has still been violated. I'm not saying that it's illegal to create an engine that allows you to run the GTA games, which would be equivalent to your argument. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment,_Inc._v._Connectix_Corp[/URL]. [I][B]While Connectix did disassemble and copy the Sony BIOS repeatedly over the course of reverse engineering, the final product of the Virtual Game Station contained no infringing material.[/B][/I] You're just not allowed to create your own engine by putting someone elses binary through a program which converts it to source code/pseudo source code and then distribute it, because that would contain infringing material. The connectix court case went over the details of how the PlayStation was reverse engineered in great detail, I know one of the developers involved. If they had done what re3 showed in their live stream, then the decision would have been different. [/QUOTE]

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
