With all the excitement surrounding
Kane Pixel's upcoming Backrooms movie, it's easy to overlook the fact that he
didn't actually create the Backrooms lore.
No one really owns the Backrooms.
Here’s a breakdown of the copyright status of The Backrooms:
The initial 4chan post and the original image of The Backrooms are considered to be in the public domain, as they were posted anonymously and have been treated as free for anyone to use.
Most of the expanded lore and user-generated content, particularly on wikis like the Backrooms Wiki on Wikidot, is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 (CC-BY-SA). This means you can create your own stories.
The core IDEA is free for anyone to expand upon (often under CC-BY-SA), but specific, original adaptations, like in books, media & movies are protected and copyrighted. I am not throwing shade on Kane Pixel’s creativity; I am only stating the facts when it comes to the Backrooms. Please feel free to comment if you wish. I will go see the movie since everything Backrooms fascinates me.
