So funimation hates us all for ever drawing art - is what I should take from that? (IGNORED)

In other news, I probably won't get this stuck out of my head for another week.

Chill out, no one is taking away your evangelion hentai doujins, you just can't have a company's trademark on your work because you'd be implying that your work was done under that company.

Fan art and fan works mostly don't incorporate trademarks, most people know where the original property came from without needing a logo.

The real question is what would happen with nyaa and horriblesubs.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
I want to read a cute romance manga. Just finished Yandere Kanojo, really enjoyed it. Something in the same vein would be great.

Copyright law is still dumb, because it's meant to encourage the creation of new and original ideas. But as it stands (at least in the US), it lasts for 70 years after the author's death, which serves no purpose but to give more money to corporations.

e: But this is completely unrelated to Funimation anyway, so whatev.

It's also good when other people finally get a chance to put their own spin on old ideas. Disney built an empire out of it.

This conversation reminds me of how Anne Rice and some other people don't allow fanfiction of their works. Which is silly, because everything Anne Rice has ever wrote is pretty terrible(the Interview adaption being incredibly good is unrelated).

Which is especially funny, because Disney (the company) was also one of the main proponents of extending copyright in the 90s after its earliest Mickey Mouse shorts was just about to enter the public domain.

I get it. Kind of weird they're not using romaji since the show title itself is in romaji. So how well did you do?

that's actually a good point, but still if i'm gonna do some crooner-type poo poo i might as well do mack the knife cuz at least that song is kinda fun whereas i find fly me to the moon really boring.

i guess the most important thing is that the lyrics are japanese.
