Shadojak Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I was gonna post something here relating to the OP discussion, but am actually finding the entire FUD/FOD posts made recently to be FAR more interesting and entertaining. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShardWarrior Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 More negative attention is bad. I would always suggest don't infringe, as that just adds fuel to the fire. Make something g original, and make it easier on the homecoming team. Never understood this "don't infringe thing" ... when you were a kid and tied a red sheet around your shoulders to run around and pretend to fly, were you being your own original hero or did you want to be the Kryptonian hero you fell in love with? Homages are a very, very good thing. They keep the interest alive, and I personally do not begrudge anyone from wanting to play as their favorite character if that is what they want to do. You can roll a claws/regen scrapper and name it whatever you like, you're still a ripoff of Wolverine or X-23. Let people have their own fun and you have yours. Just my 2 inf.

Roughtrade Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I cant believe this argument is still going on. Can you make copies? Yes, the capability exists. Should you make copies? No. But I don't think people should pick their noses either. If you think the name you want to use is questionable, then just don't use it. If someone's costume or name really offends you, submit a report and let the people who actually have the ability to do something take care of it. And then let it go. No need to keep stressing or arguing about it on the forums. If you do not face plant at least once a day; Go reset your Notoriety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justicebeliever Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Rabbit season! Duck season!

MunkiLord Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 And it no doubt cost NCSoft a ton of money to fight off the lawsuit, money that Homecoming doesn't have. And that was all pre-Mouse, Disney is much more litigious and has even deeper pockets This is very true and I agree here. But people need to keep in mind at time Marvel was a failing company desperate for revenue to keep the doors open, and that almost definitely played a huge factor in their decision to sue, quite possibly the biggest factor.

But people need to keep in mind at time Marvel was a failing company desperate for revenue to keep the doors open, and that almost definitely played a huge factor in their decision to sue, quite possibly the biggest factor. I also believe it was filed out of necessity on the part of Marvel - they need to have documented evidence of "vigorously defending" their copyrights and trademarks, which is a component of trademark and intellectual property law. ALL superhero characters are derivative of one another in some manner. All of them. Marvel and DC are notorious for copying one another. Everyone seems to gloss over the fact that even after the lawsuit, people could still happily create all their Superman and Wolverine clones to their hearts content in the game. Question I always ask is - how does someone having a Superman clone prevent you from playing and enjoying the game? And no, the game isn't going to get shut down immediately if someone has one.

justicebeliever Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Duck Season! Rabbit Season! Super Action of Steel would be a good homage and maybe a hard rock band?

One is not required to defend copyrights or risk losing them, that is only trademarks. One could argue whether or not it was really necessary in this case for their trademark claim, but no point in arguing that. But it's definitely not a part of copyright law.

boggo2300 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 On 5/19/2019 at 9:36 AM, Guest The Adgramaine said: Yes, but what happens to players who, like me, are the creators of said character? I said it earlier in another post but Jim Butcher had to jump through serious hoops just to play CoH as Harry Dresden. I have a whole hero team I'd like to roll up that is based on my ttrpg. Though, granted, I am no Jim Butcher and my creations are nowhere near that popular. Still, how amenable are the current Devs and GMs to these situations? And Jim Butcher played Harry Dresden on live (and got generic'd) Mayhem It's my Oeuvre baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
