If you're talking about cloning the game data, then this would be a more direct infringement than mise-en-scene. The one case to make a significant point involving mise-en-scene had a massive amount of new game data which was meant to be integrated with the existing game data, thus creating a "sequel". There was more going on than that, of course, but it was literally a new game put together using art and resources provided by Formgen, but being marketed and sold by Microstar. (Without a license from Formgen.) Mise-en-scene was used to explain why the work was a protected work even though all Microstar was selling was the changes. -- Raul
