Remake movies are often seen as copyright violators, especially when the copyright to the movie has expired or is no longer protected. This was because a remake of a movie needed to recreate the content of the original movie and present it to the audience. This kind of behavior violated the rights of the original film producer and was therefore considered as a violation of rights. Even if the copyright of the movie has expired or is no longer protected, if the producer of the movie still holds the copyright, the remake of the movie may still be regarded as copyright violation. This was because the copyright protection period was 50 years after the author's death. If the author's copyright did not expire within this period, the film producer could still shoot and distribute the remake. Of course, there were also some movies that were shot and released during the copyright protection period and were not considered to have been violated. However, these movies were usually approved by the copyright owner and complied with the relevant copyright laws.
