| Vodacixi said: But that is not an exact copy. Is the same song, but with a different vibe and sang by different people. It takes some liberties, it's not a 1:1 copy. Otis Redding also did many covers of already existing songs, but you can say it's not the same work: The song is essentally the same, but you can tell there is a different overall feeling, voice and tone. It's not a remastering, it's not a copy: is a different take on an already existing song. |
Going by that logic and angle a game changing models, textures, animations, menus, controls and adding new story arcs is a remake as even though the story is the same the assets and all aren't and this is going by your notion here after all that's arguably even more changes than many cover songs make especially as many of them word for word and beat for beat don't change much, either way it makes no difference as the definition as per dictionary doesn't change to support your argument that a change is required.
