Can you really copyright a lighting style and colour grade?

Of course, not.

Not for this reason.

Ideas are not copyrighted unless when expressed but in intellectual property subject to be considered as such which requires a material/physical medium, not a style, c'mon...

This claim is mere nonsense.

They are just looking public eye IMO.

Even though, the character/landscape may serve their lawyers to as we in Portuguese are used to say: "throw the clay to the wall" in order to see if it sticks ;- )

Despite the fact both elements the character/landscape present there as reference may also be seen as tribute, on the edge.

 

Hope this helps,

I guess the problem here is beyond that use but the fact it's a machine not a human author behind.

Then the situation changes because there's a model from where the plagiarism (the representation of another person's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions as one's own original work) may happen and not exactly for artistic grounds but other than pure business, which means someone else getting money from someone else's work.

 

It's all about the concept, not the sample itself.

 

So in short, it's not clear-cut, no simple answer.

It depends on variables no less.

There's a whole complexity to be evaluated, not a night and day premise.

As follows from my posts what seems one thing based on pure legal hermeneutics at the first sight, it can happen to be something else in the end of the road as second and deeper approach exactly based on same hermeneutic principles.

Both stand. Requires to see the equation as a whole.
