Random Politics & Religion #00
Lakshmi.Sparthosx said: » I dream to see an America where police kick in your door and haul you out in chains you copyright infringing scumbag for singing happy birthday to your child without paying a royalty. How dare you put that on a PC and think WE weren't watching? 25-40 years in prison for anyone who pirates or watches a pirated video. Ramyrez said: » Lye said: » Except they don't copyright them. Eh? I'm honestly unclear of the argument you're tring to make. The chances of people being pursued for using a comic strip in a not-for-profit fashion are infinitesimally small, and even if they did, the posts containing the imagine would be removed and that would likely be the end of the story. Lye said: » He has shut down people resuming/modifying his work (as I'm sure your aware). Aye, but nothing was modified. As to "nothing was modified" do you mean this: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130225/16405822102/copyright-strikes-again-real-calvin-hobbes-shut-down-copyright-claim.shtml They don't have stories worth seeing even if I legitimately watch movies...
I haven't paid to watch a movie at the theater for like 4 years. Verda said: » Because I know people that try to glorify all aspects of their way of life whether it's drug use, alcohol use or their relationship with food. Your anger after sealed the deal. My anger? Which post expressed my anger? I think this is more about you than about me..... Perhaps a confirmation bias regarding people glorifying various aspects of their lives? I prefer TV over movies 90% of the time.

But yeah, Waterson is really big on nothing being modified and his publisher decided that use fell within that category. Frankly, the guy had an argument for "fair use", but he ceased because he wasn't really make much money on it at all and it wasn't worth the fight. Also, he contacted them to check on the "okayness" of what he was doing. In this instance all Verda did was repost an unedited comic. Not really a major deal at this point. I'm e-mailing the creator of Calvin and Hobbes as we speak !
How dare you ! I can't believe it's not butter !
But here I am eating it... I find it interesting, that after several months, possible a year, and 400+ pages, amongst several hundreds of threads of reposted work, etc. that there is finally some *** about copyright infringement.
Considering most memes *can't* be copyright protected, as they are taken from already copyright protected works of people, films, etc., but are used under the "fair use" clause. That said, the ones that don't fall under the above critera can, and some have been, copyright protected, but by bringing them to civil court for damages incurred, would be doing a greater disservice to their brand/image/whatever, and to the fans who love them, which is why a lot of artists and their lawyers (unless there is a blatant misuse of said image that would damage the franchise or ability to generate profits) refuse to act on it, and instead issue challenges as to who can come up with the best use of their image for satirical use.

Can I copyright this post ?

Your anger after sealed the deal. My anger? Which post expressed my anger? I think this is more about you than about me..... Perhaps a confirmation bias regarding people glorifying various aspects of their lives? I'll give you an A for effort but you can't claim your anger wasn't anger. It just makes you look worse. I don't with you any harm. If anything the comment on health was because I don't want to see you or anyone else fall to heart disease. This has gotten to the point I can't believe I'm replying so I'll just let you guys have your fun. You should check out my post history. Here: http://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/1646/post-your-pics-thread/392#1987141 You'll understand I take your concern about my health to heart! Despite what you perceive as my rage.

Lakshmi.Sparthosx said: » Alright, Übermensch quota has been met. Nietzsche now that is a hell of a mustache !  Lye said: » You'll understand I take your concern about my health to heart! Despite what you perceive as my rage. Hey, the healthiest looking people out there drop dead of heart attacks. Sometimes there's no stopping that ***. You can, of course, minimize the risk by living a healthier life. I'm just sayin'. I lurves my beard.
I'm bored of my beard, but all the rest of the world disagrees.
Ramyrez said: » I'm just sayin'. you aren't saying ***. don't take life too seriously, you'll never make it out alive. I might grow one for the hockey playoffs.
I just can't stand having a mustache everything else I can deal with. 4.5 pages, what did I miss?
Leviathan.Chaosx said: » 4.5 pages, what did I miss? We went from comedy to copyright laws to growing a beard !
