It depends on what's going on with the game or mod. This is what a lot of people don't seem to understand. The game might be a decade old or more but it's still someone's intellectual property. The only hope you have is that the developer that made the game and the publisher go out of business and the game becomes abandonware. It's happened to a few games.

This channel is run by a guy who is making a remaster mod for the game The Simpsons Hit and Run. The game is abandonware so it will probably survive.

I see people whine about mods getting hit with DMCA's as well. They go on and on about how unfair it is. But they never mention that the mod was using assets from another game or intellectual property.

I refuse to follow laws meant to demoralize people. Copyright was an interesting concept at first but was rigged for massive corporations who keeping suing eachother to get to the top. So I see it as some shitshow to laugh about. But it can still be infuriating from time to time so I feel you. Especially since Nintendo tried to rig America's legal system to ban emulation. It's too weird to make sense. It's also why I refused to respect anime artist's IP rights as they delete their entire existence off the internet the next year.

I'm pretty sure this nigger is twelve years old. I am not joking.

I have a relative who's a fine artist - oil on canvass. Doesn't matter how many times her work gets bought and sold (including by museums), she never sees a dime beyond the initial sale.

So yeah, fuck copyright.

I guess if you really wanted it to work you'd do the project in secret and release it anonymously.
