Thanks, that’s illuminating.

Do you feel the same way about zombies?

Shut up and take my vote!

We passed gun regulations in 1934, why can’t we do it again? The same reasoning that makes it illegal for a civilian to own a grenade launcher could apply to other weapons too.

You’re really good at giving people compliments. Keep it up!

Maybe one dress with three differently colored stripes, then you could filter it so each image only showed one pattern and erased the other two.

I think the biggest difference is the cut of the dress.

If being transformative was the only test copyright would be pretty toothless, you could use any copyrighted characters you want as long as you told a new story.

Non-profit, educational, research, criticism, or news reporting; those are the categories that transformative use applies most to. Though for highly creative works (like an original character e.g. Franklin) even those categories are restricted.

The biggest test though is negative market factor. If the publisher can demonstrate it could damage their brand that is enough. Frankly this seems pretty obvious in this case, who wants to read about a fascist turtle?

Fair use does not cover political messaging.

How is this not blatant copyright crime? I don’t understand how these guys keep getting away with using copyrighted images and music with zero consequences.

I assume they’re referring to the NSO emulators, that thing where you need to pay monthly to access the retro games.

Vibe Casting is right there

Because it kills the resonance and shrinks the sound. She explains the reasons with examples and everything.

Because it’s slop.

Idk, I was struggling to think of characters.

Idk, honestly it’s a hard box to fill. I do know people who find her annoying, but it’s hard to count them as fans.

Jacking off can be a state of mind.

Good person hated by fans: Glottis from Grim Fandango, Wally from Monkey Island, April Ryan from The Longest Journey
