What copyright does it violate?

[deletethisforumidplease]

I'd like to know as well.

unless blizz copyrighted the general shape of frostmourne and arthas' shoulder plates, i don't see anything illegal there.

FYI: Two people who've never heard of one another on other sides of the world, who've never seen eachother's work could come up with the same idea at the same time or years apart from one another and they've done so before.

That or this guy was inspired by it.

I'll admit it looks very similar, but who's to say the Lich King shoulder pad was originally from Blizzard?

Too similar for my taste if you ask me...

Mountains with snow on top have never before existed.

Nor have swords, shoulders, cloaks, or skeletons/undead.

Hell, watch the video of the actual game, it's an RPGMaker 16 bit RPG. This is a cover image that slightly bears a similar resemblance to just about every undead wielding a sword.

Iconic Helmet that is easily as recognizable as Frostmourne: Forgot to pack.

Rixis nailed the rest of your list.

Truly, the amount of millions that could be lost or is gained by this trickery and falsity are but unfathomable by us commoners...

Heh. True story. A long time ago I came across a WIP thread of someone making a Warcraft RPG using RPG Maker. All of the combat sprites were made using the WoW model viewer and the backgrounds were made using screenshots from WoW.

It was a cool idea, but I think the project tanked.

So have teddy bears, that didn't stop two confectionery giants in the EU battling over an iconic design:

They're at least partly arguing about a name though, golden bears that are not golden but are called that vs. a golden bear that is actually golden but is now no longer called that.

I dont think this cover image is problematic. It appears to be a rather generic splash image that has very little to do with the game's actual aesthetics. Generic images contain generic themes and the Skeleton King is definitely a generic fantasy theme since LotR and even before. The shoulder pad design is the only thing that is actually overtly the same as Arthas' design, which I doubt is grounds enough for copyright infringement.

[Strangebrew]

Do you honestly believe Blizzard was the first to come up with that concept?

You're going to be disappointed if you look at stories and images from the 1980s fantasy books / games and find out that these images have been around for a very, very long time...

That's nothing. I'd even say it's a stretch to call it copyright infringement. THere are games far, faaaar worse. THere's 1 game on Steam that quite blatantly has taken icon art from WoW, just straight up taken it.

The thing is, as long as such things never sell a lot, they're irrelevant. I mean who give's a rats ass about some RPGMaker crap? No-one.

[Dezerte]

No, I don't this is a copyright violation.
