Dear lord...

A. Spelling, man. At least get it right in the title if nowhere else.

B. You can't plagiarize a voice. Nor can you plagiarize a face. Plagiarism only concerns matters of the written word.

C. Even with text, plagiarism is not a legal offense. You're thinking of copyright violation.

D. In these sorry modern days you have a copyright for your exact likeness and and recordings of your voice(assuming no one else has a stronger right of ownership to it), but that's a far cry from being able to lay claim to a tonal quality of voice or an inspired(as opposed to copied or modified) polygonal figure.

D. Because Ds go better in pairs.

E. With the right lawyers you can justify copyright violation for anything, regardless of how ridiculous it seems, so take D with a grain of salt.

Wow...this nonsense is still going.



If the Op wants to see this person get paid for what MAY OR MAY NOT be true...then write the company whatever and move on.



Lawyers sheesh.

1) its "plagiarism"

2) you do realize C&D list actors supplant their incomes with voice over for video games, commercials, TV cartoons, etc?

3) i think everyone realizes gerald bulter/leonidas was used as the model for the dragon cult leader.

4) the only plagiarism was the entire story being a rip-off from LoTR

Even then it's not nearly as blatant as what blizzard did with Wrath.  I think that's about as close to ripping off LoTR as anyway could legally get away with.

Ima lawyer & am gonna sue the crap out of everyone in this thread for boring me to near blindness; the OP is gonna have to have a restraining order shlapped on him due to mentioning a flim I didn't even want to know existed

The OP is somewhat confused. Plagiarism could only happen if Bioware used the actual voice clips from the film (which could not possibly articulate the script that Bioware wrote for the game!)

It's like saying Christian Slater is plagiarizing Jack Nicholson because he emulates his voice and manner...

Nicolas Cage you copied Jimmy Stewart. How dare you!

[Rainen89]

Plagiarism involves copying the entire idea or concept and then calling that concept/idea your own with no regards to the original creator of that idea. Having one actor who did a movie and then did voice acting for this game count as plagiarism is what? I'm surprised you didn't go with the zomg bioware copied dwarves and elves theory.

What a weird thread. I like it.





I noticed that many of the trees in the game look like real trees in my yard. Can I sue?

i didn't say he could sue, I said i had a small bone to pick with DAO for copying people.

I don't know why people are jumping to conclusions.

I don't know why people are still replying to this obvious troll thread.  I'm assuming it's a troll thread, because there's no possible way anyone could actually care this much about any of this.

Edit:

Why is it so easy to accidentally double-post on these forums?

Emilio Estevez you stole Martin Sheen's face. How dare you.

Really, that cannot be true they have different surnames.  It is just a coincidence that Martin's real surname is Estevez.

It isn't exactly plagiarism to use an actor that has acted before, in something else. It isn't even plagiarism to have a character that looks like someone else. Hell, they publicly announced the models that Leliana and Morrigan were based on!

So who are the models?

Are you being sarcastic? Hard to tell.

 Bioware Corps™, stealing voices and beards since 1995.



*Edit - I actually wouldn't be surprised if they caught it in a conch shell, much like that other filthy lawbreaker, Ursula.

If that was true, comedy impressionists would be screwed.

let's say an example is: somebody lives in a poor town and they come up with a neat dance style. some dance instructor comes to that town and sees the persons dance style and copies it and starts selling a tape of it that makes millions. U think that person that came up with the dance style deserves nothing and no recognition? comon... sense.

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

The actors are getting paid and credited for the voices they are asked to represent. The voice actor for Morrigan has been a voice actor for MANY games (check IMDB) recently.

You're really stretching your opinion now. You should probably back down.
