    1. Exactly my point that it is not clear, since it’s exactly Carlin’s likeness. A person who tunes in at a random moment has no idea that this is what it it stated in the beginning and could 100% assume it’s Carlin.

    2. Techbros use “transformative work” as a catch-all for ‘I moved a pixel; it’s transformative!’. Making a standup comedy show from a person doing standup comedy show is using their exact likeness as a basis is not transformative work. You can also google and copy paste the requirements for work to be considered transformative.

    3. You’re now conflating multiple discussion tracks to various comparisons, rough equivalences amd simplifications. I’m sure quoting random shit from our convo will make your point across.

    I’m done, I feel like your not discussing this in good faith and just border-line sealioning.
