Probably. Copyright applies to derivative works.
That's copyright infringement, you'd be creating derived works.
Why not? You're creating a derivative work without the permission of the copyright holder.
That would be a derivative work. Original copyright applies.
Wouldn't they be derivative works of a copyrightable work?
Copyright also grants the exclusive right to create derivative works. Using another work as the basis of your own, even with zero direct copying, can be an infringement of that right. I doubt that happened here, and proving it would be near-impossible, but we should be cognizant of what copyright actually is.
Not sure about DMCA, but it's technically a derivative work, making it subject to copyright restrictions.
That is a derivative work, unless parody.
That’s fine, as long as you have obtained permission from the copyright holder to create a derivative work. Otherwise, their reasons very much do trump your reasons.
This is an incorrect oversimplification of copyright’s protections. Copyright is a bundle of exclusive rights, among them, the creation of derivative works.(IAAL but this is not legal advice. Please consult a licensed attorney if you need legal advice, NOT HN.)
