I had the same reservations about Popeye, but that was Nintendo. I think Space Invaders has had so many clones going back to the 80s, it would be difficult for them to pursue any copyright claims since they haven't really defended it before but probably safest not to go there.

Licensed products (on modern mobile platforms, standalone game units, etc.) are available to this day. I'd be interested to see if they notice a VIC-20 clone. But best not to risk selling it to satisfy my idle curiosity...
