    “You have the right to say and do any art! Except any art based off of anything from the last 100 years. You also can’t share any of the art that is the basis for your culture from the last 100 years either. Including the shit no one cares about but is owned by a company that doesn’t want to sell it, just sue anyone who cares about it more than they do.”

    Yes, very freedom, much liberty.

      So you make an art music/picture/story and your friend comes around and makes the same art line I for line, word for word, color for color and makes a killing.

      Too bad there wasn’t some kind of system in place that could have protected your art from intellectual theaft. But you’re right it course the company is hording it.

        Yep! I’m okay with that, intellectual property is theft, and is even more so when copying is nothing but flipping a 0 into a 1. Everyone online has the right to “steal” the words on the screen I “made”.

        Copyright is theft of the public. The companies owning your favorite media isn’t going to fuck you, let alone give you anything but the privilege to charge you for the licence to borrow media until its inconvenient to them.

          Right. So you also don’t understand what copyright is. Jesus. What is with you people.

          “Copyright is a legal right that grants the creator of an original work exclusive control over its use and distribution for a limited time. This includes the rights to reproduce, distribute, display, and adapt the work. It protects literary, artistic, musical, and other creative works, preventing unauthorized use.”

          I don’t understand what’s so confusing about this.

            I don’t understand what’s so confusing about wanting to make art of anything you want, including based off of Disney or whatever you want.

            Sorry that me pirating something doesn’t hurt their bottom dollar but they lobby to arrest people like it does.

              You can make whatever art you want how ever you want. You just can’t make money on it or cost the owner anything by its production because it’s NOT YOURS! Why should you profit on something you don’t own?

              Pirating not withstanding it has no relevance to this conversation.
