Does a Driv3r copyright exist anymore?

I have no idea weather this copyright exists anymore.
I have no about how copyright works for any game.

As far as I know we legally cannot host any of the full driver games here. If we were allowed I would so them many other people would be able to try out the older games in the series for free.

One day it would be good to get into proper contact with the people who know most about this (whoever that maybe) and ask if it is legally possible to do whatever we wish with the game.

I know a couple of years ago "Driver" come on a magazine for free without the music and I keep on wondering if I'm allowed to use that.

But I cannot really say much about copyright on the game. We would have to get into contact with the people who organise this stuff from either Atari or Ubisoft!

Can someone please explain to me why we want to know if there is still a copyright on Driv3r? No, i'm not being an ass I just want to know.

I was curious. I doubt there is a copyright. I mean you can't even contact the people who built the game, and from the outcome why would they even want their names on the web talking about Dr3. :?

Atari does no longer deal with Driv3r, they got rid of it. It'll be Ubisoft. But at the same time I wouldn't say there is a copyright.

so say if you buy a copy of driv3r today would it say ubisoft? because i look up the first dirver (driver 1) and it wasn't made by atari, but when atari took over the driver series it now says atari on the case

As I recall, Dr3 was published by Atari, and Reflections being part of Atari as a studio.

And no, why would it say ubisoft? Driv3r isn't still in production. June 04' released.

Sometimes, I once got a few replys on the first few emails I sent.

First email was about the next generation driver. You seen that in the "Ubisoft Speaks", News Topic and I told them about an error on Amazon and they replied.
