| > getting Disney upset is another. They don't mess around with people appropriating their IP. I am not sure why everyone repeats this line so confidently when it is so clearly wrong. Have you been on the internet? Do you understand how common copyright infringement is? Especially related to Star Wars? Its ubiquitous. Its everywhere. People make fan art of star wars. They write stories. They make fan games. They make youtube videos. All of that is mostly illegal copyright infringement and everyone is doing it, and basically nobody ever gets in trouble for that. I am not saying that there isn't a line. There clearly is. You couldn't just release your own star wars movie in theatres, or sell bootleg star wars merch in every walmart. (You could sell infringing merch on etsy, and mostly get away with it though!) But the bar that you have to go above to actually get in trouble for infringement is extremely high. And a random demo of a bad tie fighter game just doesn't pass it. |
This is the subject at hand. Got any examples?
