howwww many times do we have to tell you that sega doesn't care about what we do with their ip unless its not getting profit until you get it in your head bruh?! I really dont see nintendo isn't taking down any of the Nintendo based mods either.
What, you want us to convince people to believe that they're hypocrites for making fan content of a particularly copyright-lax franchise and then being upset that their fan content is being edited and distributed without their permission, so they have no right judging you for using the Workshop?
yes they are, thank you for realizing
Not being able to shut down discussion is a common courtesy in conversation both online and offline. I'm asking someone to stop being controlling, not telling them they're breaking the rules.
Many of the criticisms from the Workshop defenders in this thread have been directed at the main community in general, and thus I was defending the main community. If I only defended myself as an individual, many of the attacks would go unanswered.
Having a low opinion of mod thieves is not backseat moderation.
Strawman argument. We aren't criticizing them for simply having different rules, plenty of alternate SRB2 spaces exist that do, and get no criticism. We dislike them because they are partaking in a set of very uncool practices.
This IP discussion is pointless as it makes an invalid comparison. Like Tatsuru said before, "Nintendo" is not a person, but a corporation. The people at Nintendo who C&D fan creations are not the same people who created their characters. Corporations are not comparable to individual artists, both morally and legally.
I don't think you realized, but you just admitted to a massive hole in your argument.
So you think it's okay to do whatever you want with someone else's fanart because it's fanart of something copyrighted? Genuine question.
remember that a corporation is made up of people, so if nintendo doesn't count why should the srb2 community (which is also made up of a people) count.
So a corporation is anything made up of people?
is a community not?
Nintendo is not a "community" filled with people "passionate about the subject matter." Nintendo is a "corporation" filled with people passionate about "money" hope this helps
Told you people are posting as you read the replies.
if it's not original (meaning it's own separate thing) than yeah you can.
This is a fallacy of the undistributed middle, and is thus invalid. Communities are not corporations just because they both have people, just as corporations are not countries just because they have people.
both are passionate about something are they not?
don't get how you got to that point but okay.
Do we sell anything? Do we run a business? Do we hire people? Do we adhere to the legal definitions of a corporation? Do we report to be a corporation on taxes?
Not how copyright law works. Nintendo could not legally use Mario fanart without permission just because they own Mario, because it was not made by Nintendo employees.
Nintendo fans cannot legally make mario fanart because nintendo owns the IP
Source? Also, care to answer the other half of that post?
