This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
No copyright law means whatever anyone comes up with can be massmanufactured cheaply by a big corp.
A. Confusing this with patents
B. They already can. Copyrights don't protect individual artists they protect big corps.
this is some terminally online take
Personal attacks won't change the argument. It just shows that you don't have one.
"personal attack won't change the fact that I have shit for brains and you don't."
you do you, mr. shit-for-brains
Sorry my bad I thought I blocked every Disney agent on this site. Don't worry I will take care of that now.
That's patents
Non-exclusively, so if something works everyone will make it and get a piece of the pie.
I see no problem.
Yeah, IMO trademarks are important and should be protected. And publishing full works should have royalties go to the original producer, and this is a case where I think for the lifetime of the artist is fair. Though I do think that the royalties should have a formula rather than being entirely determined by the original producer (to prevent the price from essentially making it not available), though an exclusivity period would be fair, though with a duration of maybe a year or two.
With trademarks, canon can be established, as can standards like "cartoons with the Disney logo won't be porn".
If someone wants to make a series where Luke Skywalker and Jean Luc Picard fly around the galaxy settling Star Wars vs Star Trek debates by explaining Muppets are better than both and then order Darth Vader to massacre everyone that disagrees and the Borg to assimilate the rest, it doesn't harm the originals in any way. Unless it's so much better than no one cares about the originals anymore, but that's just the way competition works.
