I hate copyright laws in relation to big companies soo much. It's a pathetic predatory market made to keep the means of poduction in the hands of few.
That's to say that the company responsable for Peppa Pig is processing an old lady (who didn't even had high education nor new about copyright law to begin with) because she sold in her handmade Peppa things in her small inline store (that she made to sustain herself after losing her job). They are suing her for 20 thousand reais wich means nothing monetarialy for them but will financially break this woman forever, she'll likely never be abble to pay this up. And like you can't seriusly convince me, that a brazilian old lady with her small store that only got kinda famous besides very very locally because of the lawsuit represented ANY actual loss to the company. They do this stuff because they can, because it helps to scare other small irrelevant local shops and so upheld the system, because fucks over the artisan class.
She already had to pay 5 thousand reais because of "hedonic damage" and while hopefully not the 20 thousand she was ruled guilty and a "threat to the company" (the justicy system is a joke).
