While it is generally not advisable to violate copyright laws, there are some legal ways to obtain or generate content that would otherwise be covered by copyright. Generating new creative works based upon already-existing works is one way to get around restrictions on content creation. Another option is using fair use of existing material - this applies if the original work used is not of primary source, not used extensively and does not harm sales of the original work. Lastly, looking for creative commons-licensed works provides an abundance of opportunities to work with existing materials without getting in trouble with copyright authorities.

Using existing works in creative content is common and perfectly legal as long as the work is properly attributed. Creative modifications can be made that will limit the risks associated with copyright violation, however it’s important to always take into consideration the potential impact these changes can have on a work’s original intent or meaning. If unsure if your remake could potentially violate copyright laws, it’s best to consult an attorney for clarification before you proceed.
