Why shouldn't people dismiss your remarks for that same reason?

Unless, of course, you care to cite the sections of the pertinent statutes that support your allegation, why those statutes from that nation apply, and the relevant court decisions interpreting them ? Surely if you're well versed in copyright law, you can do that, right? In the US, it will be in Title 17 of the United States Code, but it has not been established that US copyright law applies to your allegations.



Nope, that's not how copyright law works, at least, not in any signatories to the Berne Convention that I'm aware of. You're making me doubt that your "study law on the internet" was at all productive. Did it include reading a court's opinion in a successful suit for copying a class in a video game? Does such a precedent even exist? I didn't encounter it in law school, but that was quite a while ago.
Copyright applies to the entire game. When you sign the game you have to agree to their EUAL, which means you AGREE it's copyrighted...
