"Pin off" Schunken is a direct translation from the German term ,that doesn't exist in English .
If you do in school what you meant, you are cheating.

Or simply copying a phrase from a book etc.

Come on. This is more of an homage than anything else: I can think of many books, movies, songs and even paintings that do exactly the same thing. There would appear to be many issues within the game that genuinely are worth commenting on. This really isn't one of them.

Hm... I always was think "pin-off" was an english term. Lesson learned...

Agreed. I'm sure Steven Spielberg didn't sue Keven Smith over all the dialogue lifted from Jaws in the "salsa shark" bit from "Clerks".

Maybe its already been said... But its not a copy right problem when you copy an idea from a movie and remake it yourself with some differences.

Its a problem when you take a piece of a movie (actual copy the actual movie clip or song) and put it into your movie saying its yours and make money on it.

If the OP idea of Copy Rights was how it worked... Hollywood would be in a lot of trouble right now.
