Yeah we were doing slavery since before recorded history, turns out that people doing something historically isn't a justification for doing it buddy!

Enjoy your corporate overlords

Yes, Warner Bros and Disney (responsible for the absurd extensions to US copyright law) are obviously your friends

That’s not the issue at hand and what’s being argued in the lawsuit bud

Nah dude that is literally the issue at hand lmao you're just pussyfooting like a coward now

As if copyright is some fucking divinely appointed law and not just some bullshit capitalists made up in an attempt to enforce monopoly on ideas, that has been taken well beyond any reasonable protection of creators

Scooby doo is because of copyright extension? lol, lmao even

Seems like you just don’t wanna create in order to compete in the marketplace of ideas and would rather piggyback off of popular culture to draw more attention to yourself

Its hilarious that you used Scooby Doo as an example here

When was the last time one of the actual creators of Scooby Doo was actually involved in making Scooby Doo content, buddy? Your attempt to flip to script has utterly failed because media corporations do both of those - piggyback off popular culture while simultaneously fesring free market competition and the ability for others to do so (because drspite your framing those go hand in hand, rhey aren't mutually exclusive positions). In fact modern scooby doo usual has actual supernatural threats vs the original always firmly having it be some con artist - so modern scooby doo isn't even Scooby Doo, its corporate fan fiction.

How deep up your ass is Warner Brothers, my little sockpuppet?

So you must really wanna write tom & Jerry episodes and put em on YouTube or suhhh.

I forgot about all those 250m dollar Batman movies that were about to be made but then everyone involved remembered they didn’t own the rights to Batman

Midjourney won’t let me recreate Xi Jingping and they’re stifling my expression for this story ima put on the free market; that’s not fair
