LBP Will Have A CopyRight System

Linkin Park Fan | August 26, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 
Not in copyright in the "legal" sense, but LittleBigPlanets own version of copyright. Lets say you create a very impress object that other players can collect. You can copyright this object so no other player can alter it and share it with anyone. That player who did collect the object can still use it, but cannot claim it as his own. A good way to keep some of your ingenieuse ideas safe.
"You can basically dictate the distribution rights on any object you create. If you put something in your level as a collectable item, people can collect it. People can control who comes into the level, both by how hard it is and by giving away keys, but you can also choose whether to copyright that object."

Once you've collected a copyright item, you'll be able to use it in your own game levels. However, you won't be share it with anyone else.

If an item isn't copyright, you'll be able to change it and share it as much as you like. "It's a really simple way to allow people to share or maintain ownership," explained Evans.

    I like the idea, so long as it's not overused.

      I can't see how it could be. If everyone copyrighted their stuf, it would just inspire people to make more objects.
