Take a look at this place called Spongebob Movie Adventure

http://www.roblox.com/The-Spongebob-Movie-Adventure-Obby-READ-DESC-place?id=17557361

The game is made by Dogon and it is basically an extremely close copy of the game from the ps2 and xbox made by Viacom and THQ. Now I was wondering if this is even legal to do because copying a game that a company legally and permanently owns can actually end you with a fine, lawsuit or even jail time. Dogon is making profit off of this game that he copied from Viacom without permission. He is making profit off a game he does not legally own as Viacom and THQ owns it. I was wondering if this is even legal to even do because Roblox had the circle studs in the game and they got sued for having that and they got a lawsuit from LEGO. Now I was thinking that Roblox may have another lawsuit, this time with Viacom, which owns the Spongebob franchise because of the game Dogon copied. I don't even think this is legal to do. He's making profit off this, AND he does not give credit to Viacom for the game, even if he does, he does not have the right to own it. I don't know about this everyone... Because in the law, it is illegal to copy things you do not own and claiming you own it even though Viacom owns all of it. He's making profit off this game, basically taking ownership off Viacom with no permission at all, and yeah.

I'm not trying to seem like some kind of critic or anything if you guys think I am, but I'm just thinking and know that this is illegal because he is making profit off something he absolutely does not own. If Roblox can't have circle studs and gets sued by LEGO for having this, Dogon can't use Viacom's product as he has no ownership with Viacom's product whatsoever. He is making profit off this too, which is also illegal because he does not own the product. I am not trolling for those of you people that think I am. If you think I am, give me a single shred of proof that I am. Because what I am saying is the truth.

tl;dr:

he was explaining that the game link given was copied from a game on ps2 and xbox


explanation:

be familiar with this occasions, most of developers copy an actual game and make it to roblox. I'll give you examples:

Watch Dogs
SpongeBob Movie
Wheel of Fortune
Saw
if you know more, you can consider it here

tnx bye

But he does not have ownership to the product. And THQ is still well and alive. They recently published a couple of games. And Viacom does care. It's their product and they own it. Dogon does not.

yeah it's probably ripping some intellectual property from a notoriously greedy company that'll trivially and undeservingly get its way

who cares, though?

Who here actually gives even half a damn though

Unless you're just some nosy do-gooder by nature

It's honestly quite far beyond my realm of understanding why you decided to write a 6 paragraph essay on this

It's legal to do that until the company sues the game.

Is Legue of Roblox sued? Nope,legal.

Is Watch_Dogs sued? Not yet,legal

Is Strife sued? Still,legal.
