I used CC-BY because I want to contribute my art with minimal strings attached. I just want people to know where the art comes from really. Other than that I would love if some developer used my art and actually made a successful game.
I don't really use my submitted art in game projects I'm working on that I want to make a profit on. So if someone finds a way to use what I made to make some money more power to them. I'm sure if they liked my art that much (and wasn't using it for lack of a better piece) then I'm sure I will get contacted about making more art for a paid project, but if not I am not bothered by it.
I give two attribution options, one that is text based with my name and my website's URL or my IsometricRobot mascot icon with a link back to my homepage at isometricrobot.com I really hope that people opt for the graphic and link, just because I like to think of people including it in their credits (I give the option for the attribution to be placed anywhere in the work with a detail of the attribution definition available at my website.)
So far I can find no lawsuit in regards to emulation of animation style and copyright.gov (US copyright law website) lists style only in the context when a copyright is sought in regards to work that has been produced.
Simuliairly, Austrailian law also notes that style by itself cannot be copyrighted, but that is part of the final product that does receive copyright portection. In the end, it seems that style is only described as a way of further defining your work in context with other factors.
So for example it seems you can create a new character using the style of some anime, but you cannot use that style to recreate the characters from that anime. In fact, it seems like the character's themselves in the context of how they are presented, named and setting, could play a much bigger factor than the style. For example, you can't draw Harry Potter in anime form and use that work in your own production of Harry Potter.
I'm still researching this as I feel unsatified with finding no examples. Usually someone tries to file a lawsuit even if its ungrounded causing the results to be a good inicator for how the law is applied.
Completed a remix of dogchicken's Cat Fighter. How about a second player with Dog Fighter?

Sweet! I have been noticing some latency the past few days hopefully this new set up will get things back to normal :)

How would attribution work for what we create under the liscence available for the original work?

I thought yours was pretty functional Downdate. I am surprised that there are three winners, but since I'm one of them I guess that's okay! :D
The comments in the case are really helpful even if they probably ultimately won on the parody merits.
Looks like to actually prove copyright infringement would be pretty difficult without a blantant exact copy attempt.
Thanks for the help Botanic. I think I can continue on my current project worry free.

Well done Pixel32!
Inspiring work. I may just need to make a quick game using these resources... so many good resources too little time for additional projects.
@Pixel32, do you have a website or blog. Where are you pulling these ideas?! Paint and too much time on your hands? :D You are a mystery!
