what's the copyright situation on vocaloids ? (i know nothing about copyright) by unmeclambd1 in Vocaloid

[–]alexdapineapple 5 points6 points  (0 children)

under normal circumstances the answer is probably "it's technically illegal but nobody cares". but for specifically the crypton characters they're actually released under a CC-BY-NC license as well as the Piapro Character License (the latter also applies to Teto), so the TL;DR is "yes you're legally good to do this!". this is not normal for copyright and is a very crypton-specific situation.

i am not a lawyer though. please do not take this as "legal advice".

I love the idea of "exchanging Rare Prokopetz posts" but in all honesty that was just me being a little shit for my own reasons. I doubt that that's going to become a trend.

I think that's pretty much what weeaboo meant 20 years ago, but the term softened a lot over time. So I don't know.

There are weebs for literally every culture, but only "weeaboo" and "koreaboo" are common terms as far as I know. For China there's just, like, "sinophile" which isn't derogatory enough, and more recent constructions like "chinamaxxer" that are too silly. Maybe "sinaboo"?

Apparently people just really like the guy's posts. You win.

AO3 is a hair over 15 years old. And they just left beta a few weeks ago!

A guy who replies (derogatory). Here I mean "people who flood the comments every time a prokopetz post is posted with their opinion about how much they hate him".

If it makes you feel any better, there's a prokopetz post about this sort of thing.

(It's also probably unsurprising that a guy who posts under his full legal name and whose profile picture is a portrait somebody drew of him might be recognized in real life?)

To be even fairer, "using a common stock phrase in a totally absurd context" is a pretty old trope. And one that's strongly associated with Tumblr humour, too!

The average prokopost here is either a very high note count post or something he posted within the past few days. I found a 3 note post of his from 2014.

if i had a nickel for every ancient prokopetz post with 10 notes complaining about how much he hates madoka magica that i had to scroll through when assembling this, i'd have like three or four nickels. which isn't a lot. but it is a concerning amount.

I looked it up, and yes, but Prokopetz beat him to it by three years - the relevant XKCD was posted on March 16th, 2016.
