I think that article misses the point a bit. It's not about "you can't copyright an idea." It's that, given ideas that Stardock did own the IP for (SC3) and ideas that Stardock does not own the IP for (SC2) they picked SC2 many times.


I'm not a lawyer but it seems like Stardock doesn't know what an idea is. I can't copyright a plumber in a side scroller. That's an idea. I can copyright my particular plumber wearing blue and red. Every choice they made in that table copied the implementation that Star Control 2 had.
