It's probably not compliant. As with all good things, if you're in the Land of the Free (TM), eventually people will hunt you down if you try to do good things.

Alternatively, base your site out of a country which gives you the freedom to do things like this. Build it in China and you'll be applauded instead of sued. Copyright suits for petty things like this would laughed off when it's something actually useful.

China's monopolies are far worse than in other countries.

Founders there have no choice but to sell or get copied by the platform that you're building on. It's baba or tenscent.

Yes, that's also true, but on the flip side, technological advancement of society as a whole is not stifled by idiotic IP law.

I agree, some anti-monopoly regulation is in order in China, and I'm not a fan of the Alibaba/Tencent monopolies on the ecosystem. However, I think there are other ways to go about fostering and encouraging small businesses and protecting creators and their intentions than American-style IP law, which allows you to sit on an invention or work and hinder society from having access to the fruits of science, which I'm vehemently against. IP isn't even real property, IMHO.

Yes it is, if 90% of the reason for new tech is to get richer, if all protections like copyright, patents, etc are dropped then people will be much less incentivized to invest and stick their necks out for new creations. I wholeheartedly do not agree with your IMHO. That said we could absolutely improve our current patent system and copyright system (especially copyright and those parts which contribute to patent trolls)
