Say I make the claim "If I am not bitten by a radioactive spider, I will not become Spider-Man." Does this mean that if I am bitten by one, I will become Spider-Man? No. In fact, chances are that getting bitten by a radioactive spider would just give me cancer.
This is the same sort of logic. They said they would not make one before they outdo it, but this does not necessarily mean they will after. It simply means that this is a condition which must be met before they even consider it.

Why did nobody tell me this in the first place? I have been talking like that for years.

In defense of people crowing for a remake, S-E has been a bit convoluted in their answers over the years.

Cliffs: Kitase says that the only way they'll be able to make it is once production on FF XIII and other large productions were done and the core team could be reassembled. The result is false hope coming from an excuse as to why it can't happen.

Cliffs: We'd love to do it, says S-E, but we don't know if we can do it in a justifiable time frame. Wada didn't help his case saying that S-E will look into making it.
That's only a few articles I found on Kotaku. S-E has a habit of trying to placate fans while not committing to anything. The general theme of the articles seem to go "We want to do this, but we're not sure it's feasible due to -insert random poor excuse-". At one point, Kitase said it would take 10 times the time of production for XIII. So, 30-40 years? Obviously a gross over exaggeration, but you get the idea.
My plan for people crying for a remake will be to point them to the PC re-release and then tell them to get HD mods (once it's confirmed that the re-release is modable like the original release).

If they want a game, nearly as successful as FFVII, square to stop dumbing down their games...
They have to make the games less linear (and bring back the freaking world map! also the vehicles...) Also:
get better story writers, Do LESS cinematics (we don't want to watch a movie after all, that's not even exciting), add more side quests, various story branches and multiple endings, add easter eggs and secrets, something like gold-saucer (but don't overdo it with the mini-games), a combat system like FFVII or Golden Sun just with updated graphics (imagine how the summons could look like now) MATERIA-like SYSTEM.
If they don't do that, they're not authorized to complain, why nobody buys it. ;D
There's a reason after all, why FFVII was so successful...

I'm kinda afraid that they will protect the re-release version against modding....

lol
This "top lawyer" better go back to law school, considering names can't be copyrighted.

Names can be trademarked. So it's feasible that the lawyer friend told him that, but it was regurgitated as copyrighted.
Squaresoft copyrighted FFVII when it was released, and one would think that would lend protection to the characters as well. Characters themselves are not directly protected, but given the way unfair competition laws are written, rights holders can claim an infringement if you drop a character into a new setting. You can argue fair use most of the time (especially in the case of non-profit situations; fanfic, modding, etc). I last studied copyright law in 2002, and given how much the digital landscape has changed law, I'm not 100% accurate on my copyright perspective anymore.
