Wierd, Capcom is the one suing. They want a court to make it be known that Dead Rising does not infringe Dead Romero's Dawn of the Dead.

And yet
They are basicly the same thing

Why dosnt he just say "sod it its better than a lame arsed movie conversion call it Dawn of the dead and have a black guy as the main charicter"

I think one of the reasons why they don't infringe copyright laws are just like when people make parodys. The names and places aren't exactly the same, then there's also the fact that there's a thing on the front of Dead Risings boxart saying the game has no connection with Dawn of the Dead.

It has a warning on the game box saying that it is not affiliated with Dawn of the Dead.
