Studying up the © laws!
Hi, I'm studying the © laws. If you want to know something about copyright, please ask!
More info:
This is not for school, this just a side project I have decided to pick up. It will only effect my ethical thoughts of the way the world works. This will be where I post some of the stuff I've learnt, quizzes, and links to useful sites to learn about ©!
Hey. It's me SSSS, back from the dead!

Re: Studying up the © laws!
Can I sell a work I have made using the same idea that is present in another medium but not using the same objects / materials / words / characters?

Yes. Copyright doesn't protect ideas

No, as that isn't anything to do with copyright, that's got to do with human rights. It is sometimes referenced to as 'child trafficking' and can get you a lengthy sentence in jail.

Hahaha.
Did you sell yourself?
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
