What's rich got to do with it? We poor blokes get pissed off if you steal from us, too.

Surely, if you're not making actual money from the game then it's ok? You could distribute it for free at first, then if you're lucky and it's an international hit and you want to release it commerically, you should worry about copyright laws. There are enough parodies and spoofs of things like the Lost and LOtR series made for the studios to sue all the geeks on flash animation websites, but they don't.

But I could be worng, me not lawyer.
