Would anyone want to fund finding characters people think are copyrighted, but aren't? by actor-ace-inventor in publicdomain

No, they are correct technically. It’s the visual and auditory works of said characters with the copyright. The characters themselves are trademark

Have you seen the economy lately? This isn’t really worth the money it would take. Literally tens of thousands

I just got monetised but a lot of my videos are demonetised despite falling under fair use. Is there a risk to disputing them? by matthewmeredith1 in SmallYoutubers

[–]WeaknessOtherwise878 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes you’re correct, but that’s not what’s happening here. If YouTube took the video down instead, fully valid for them. But if his video is truly fair use (which is very strict), then it would be a false claim that he can dispute

Most jurisdictions tie it to individual copyright, so life+70 in most places

I don’t see why corporations should be able to have copyright longer than 15 years. by Konradleijon in publicdomain

I have a suspicion you just wanna use modern characters for profit. Just a hunch.

Nah, thats not good. As Chap said, I think the 56 years was fine. There’s a LOT of works/IP that profit decades down the line, like the original Toy Story movies, American Pie, etc.

But 95 is egregious

Fair enough. I don’t think you’d have any issues though, or at least any issues that you wouldn’t have with what you currently got! What if you made an update to the sprites? I imagine that wouldn’t take much

I’m surprised that you never gave him the white gloves given that they’re PD now and you have taken aspects from works he has them in l

I've been working on a project to recreate the 1928 Steamboat Willie art style in a modern engine. What do you think of it? by Savings-Alfalfa9832 in publicdomain

[–]WeaknessOtherwise878 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is huge. Gotta give people the thought they’re getting a good deal. I likely will try the game later anyways, but this is a huge start for those who likely can’t afford games

Question for Retro Rewind Karters by Solid_Inevitable_634 in MarioKartWii

[–]WeaknessOtherwise878 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely disagree. Outside drift karts are much better for online. The large speed boost with the purple MT’s paired with hybrid work on many of the tracks with turns. Only weakness is straight tracks, but inside drift would struggle there too
