finally watched Reign of the Supermen

#kon is three apples tall.... good luck getting anyone to call you superman when you look like you should be in middle school #the second pic was inspired by that scene where lois is on the phone w steel and kon is peeking over her shoulder #superboy #conner kent #john henry irons #man of steel #lois lane #reign of the supermen #rots was fun bc i knew kon and steels situations but had no idea what visor and cyborg supes had going on #so i was like IS it him...? no.... it cant be....#it was funny when he was like please. just call me superman.#like even if he was the actual genuine clark kent back as a cyborg bbgirl youre not going to shake 'cyborg superman'#superman #digital art #comic #comics #dcamu #dc #dc comics #2024 #id in alt #also why is lois dressed like asami in the finale #and for the record steel is the most respectable of the titular supermen cause like #he wasnt trying to pass himself off as clark he was literally just a dude who was inspired to be a clearly separate superhero #i mean you could make a claim of copyright infringement cause of the S but in his defense it was a symbol of hope & clark was dead sooo

redesign of my simple country lawyer

#sketch #digital art #dtl #drawn to life #ocs #oc:gleann #fine and good au #for the unaware: gleann is the elder brother of my oc/hero aimsir. their family is from a small town in the snow fields and he is a lawyer #originally the fine and good au was a ''modern'' college au and aimsir was an artist with a bad reputation for copyright infringement #and he was their lawyer. its not that sort of au anymore but i still want him to be a lawyer #i think raposa law works different and hes less arguing for the innocence of his clients and more acting like a body guard #ok i was gonna go further into an explanation for that but i have to stop myself otherwise ill write and entire spec lore post #i cannot write an entire spec lore post about raposa law in the tags of an oc post. i cannot allow myself to do that #dtl:zsasha

A few years back there was a video circulating about Cullen’s VA doing some anti-woke nonsense and acting it out as his character. Was that you who did the edit of it? Because if so, I kinda wanted to see it again. I need a laugh 😅

Nah I didn't edit it 😭 that was all Greg's handiwork I fear

It's available on youtube somewhere I'm sure. Try searching 'Dear Cullenites' you're sure to find it that way.

#bioware took it down for good reason (copyright infringement & misappropriation) id rather not get in trouble for hosting it sorry lol #replies

Looking away from the bad choice Nintendo chose to do with Palworld, they have done something good in terms of Lawsuits and went after some bootleg Gatcha games in China

Recently Nintendo won a $15 million dollar lawsuit against 6 companies that were producing and profiting off illegal bootleg Pokémon games.

These games, which are often Gatcha Games are regurgitated up onto the App Store or Google Play store in droves usually with the same premise (Take a traditional Pokémon game battle mechanics wise and make catching Pokémon locked behind a very very pricy and P2W Gatcha system designed to trick little Timmy into wanting more, sometimes there’s catching mechanics but no it’s all about that cold hard cash baby as after a certain point the “devs” just give up if there is even a story to begin with.)

You may have seen these in passing on YouTube or that one weird Mario Odyssey rip-off a few years ago.

The game that’s been placed front and center for everyone to see is a certain title called Pocket Monster Reissue (Yeah I have no idea what that title is supposed to mean either)

This was kinda the only video I could find on it. Yes it’s in Chinese but there are English versions of these games floating out there.

youtube

It’s your standard Pokémon Gatcha ripoff affair: Ash, Gary/Blue, and Oak (along with other popular characters) appear, it’s a rehash of Kanto because that’s what the kids want, megas and legendaries are oddly locked behind a very high paywall, stolen artwork, Engrish, etc… etc…

The whole nine yards or whatever…

Something you may not know is that it is usually pretty difficult for these games to be taken down because well… China’s kinda had a long history of ignoring international copyright laws to the point, especially when it comes to gaming, that when these things get onto the internet, can spawn memes because of a funny Swede’s reaction to a horribly colored Mario and the Flintstones theme song.

Because of this, and also the use of shell companies that bootleggers use to hide themselves behind, catching and shutting down these operations don’t tend to be the easiest things for ip owners to go after.

And trust me, these things rake in the cash because well… You’re literally ripping off one of the most popular media franchises there is.

This game in question was raking in at around $42 million in a single year alone, Nintendo filed this suit back in around 2021 seeking up to $72 million in damages alone.

Yes I critique Nintendo for some of their legal aggression because y’all need to chill with the fangames, but this is great news because these games are dangerous for a number of reasons.

Also to make matters even stranger, one of the defendants in the case is a manufacturing company. While this hasn’t been confirmed, this company was likely being used as a means to lander money through or something similar.

They must be leashed at all times. Otherwise chaos will commence.

Give your best wishes to Nick. He needs it.

#Also. Notice that it says Jazzy commited grand theft auto and air piracy but wasn’t charged like the other two.#Honey gets away with a lot more things. At least it wasn’t that serious of a reason.#All their crimes are connect somehow and it was all for a good reason. (At least that’s what they say)#It’s funnier just to think of reasons on why they were charged with those things #But for example. Hancock was charged with copyright infringement because he’s dressed as John Hancock and using his clothes #Idk who is charging him. But someone is.#fallout #fallout 4 #fo4 #john hancock #nick valentine #deacon fo4 #deacon #deacon fallout 4 #fallout original character #fallout oc

hello all!!! happy summer 😎 as i have been released from finals and have some free time on my hands i am wanting to work on something that's been on my radar for a while now --- a ko-fi/online shop!

as one lovely soul inquired about a while ago, i'd love to offer some version of my anne of green gables illustration, and so, question: would you buy a digital downloadable printout if i offered it? this would probably mean a high dpi file that could be printed out at home on paper of your choice! thank u and love u and peace

#also if u are like i would buy x y or z other thing from your kofi store let me know pretty please 🙏#for now aogg is a good starter bc i do not have to worry about copyright infringement! yes 😎#poll #not art #yippee.

I think we all need to appreciate Slash Gordon more, if only for being a totally blatant ripoff of Games Workshop’s Space Marine design meant to sell houses, while being fucking named Slash Gordon.

And, I mean that unironically. Given how poorly GW has treated its fans with its draconian IP restrictions, I genuinely applaud Landmark Creations for their chutzpah.

Tis a good spirit to have...
