#and doesn't most of the time costs more defending yourself legally than making the content profitable?

Copyright protect both big and small ip's from their job getting stolen, but it OBVIOUSLY benefits the biggest companies the most, and is usually behind a paywall.

In the eyes of the law art is just a product. Therefore names, logos or even certain siloutes are branded. As an ip you may want to stop your product to get bastardize by someone or get your image distorded by fans.

Any fanart, fanfict or fangame is suable to a extent usually related to its publicity and its monetization.

There are laws that also protect you as a consumers and fans, for example you can make a parody, review and monetize a issued newspaper on content, using characters and iconography (star wars specials in lot of shows) and do cameos or references. This is not punishable as the thing you a re monetizing isnt the "stolen" original content.

Patreon, OF, Etc work aorund this making the monetization being a donation or patronize to the artist and not the art itself, you are supporting the person, not the content. But they are still suable.

One important factor is the media it is in. Making a drawing of a drawing, an animation of an animation, and a game of a game is extremely problematic. Also being used in a bussiness if very illegal.

All this comes to the point that every fan-thing is suable to make it "protected" against unfair uses, but are the companies themself who decide if the sue or not artist, being Nintendo and Disney two of the most anoying party poopers, destroying modded roms or fangames.

Most the time they dont sue small artist becouse of the time cost they would have to invest in that would be huge so they just sue the bigger ones wich translates in trouble to the platforms themself. We almost lost memes on twitter and yt due to Article 13 not so long ago.

There are chill corps like Riot that even gives away free uncopirighted content for people to use on streams.

It is strictly regulated and judges will often fail against the companies protecting the citizen, happened a lot. F.ex: Capcon tried to copiright the fighting genre completely, court said "do you want to copiright breathing too?"

Anyting market related, like branding and copyright can be extremely unfair, but ultimately unnecesary.

Disney wont be happy if you sell a movie to Netflix called the avengers (R) done by some random dude and drawed by its little cousin, they will be rightfull to sue netflix, the publisher and the director.

There are also fine tunin on those laws, Disney cannot own Thor as a concept but can own the Thor that uses a specific style that shares a relation with a certain character in a certain way. And yes there are originality laws that can set the diference between stolen, inspired by, parody and plagiarism (last one is doing the same plot but channging the names and aspec a little).

Nintendo could Sue the BOTW demake wich was basically a Zelda game, but not Genshin Impact

Yet there is no way Disney can sue Sr.Pelo for mockey

Sorry for the long text, but i think its a complicated matter.

Laws can be unfair even in the fine tuning ones and therefore judges are needed to evaluate each case and bend this laws forth or back case by case based on theyr own education and morals.

Final thoughts

People have right not to get their job used to profit

People have right to use content for themself as fans

People should be able to monetize reinterpretations and fan crafted content

Two of those statements contradicts each other

OH NO

This planet is a fucking nightmare

Atlanta Personal Injury Attorney Wants People to Be Aware of Common Mistakes to Avoid When Filing A Claim

Reputable Atlanta personal injury attorney, The Angell Law Firm, wants accident victims to be aware of common mistakes they should avoid when filing a claim. That’s why they made this very topic the subject of a recent blog post that was added to their website. Those at the firm felt this subject was very important to address because when personal injury victims make a mistake when filing a claim, it can cost them dearly in terms of the settlement amount that they should rightfully receive.

Bryce Angell, the firm’s founder and lead attorney, says, “When someone is injured in a car or other type of accident through the negligent acts of another, they have the right to be made as whole as possible again through the means of making a legal claim against the offending party. Unfortunately, to determine the right outcome, this involves a very complicated legal process that few people other than experienced personal injury attorneys like myself fully understand. That’s why I decided to take the time to write a blog that will help people avoid some of the common pitfalls that happen to accident victims when they improperly file their legal claims.”

The article written by this accomplished Atlanta personal injury lawyer starts by saying that properly filing a legal claim is the best way to be sure a victim gets the compensation they deserve from the defendant’s insurance provider. This is necessary to cover such things as medical expenses, lost wages, and any other costs relevant to the accident that caused a personal injury. The new blog also pointed out that this process often does not proceed along smoothly. This is usually due to the reluctance of the defendant’s insurance provider to respond faithfully to the claim or their ability to apply pressure to settle a claim quickly. The newly posted blog stated that this is what greatly contributes to accident victims making mistakes when they file a legal claim.

As the blog continued on, it specifically pointed out the main mistakes that accident victims make when filing a legal claim. Among the most significant ones is that many accident victims feel they cannot afford legal representation. The author stated in the blog that this is regretful because victims never have to pay any legal costs for legal claim representation. This is because a personal injury lawyer only gets paid by percentage when a claim is favorably settled in their client’s favor. It was also pointed out in the blog that some people overestimate their legal skills and try to settle their claim themselves. This often places them up against an insurance company’s experienced legal team that knows personal injury law forward and backward. This places that personal injury victim at a huge disadvantage as far as receiving a just settlement amount.

Another common personal injury claim filing mistake that was mentioned in Angell Law Firm’s new blog post is that clients often accept their lawyer’s advice without question. The article says that an accident victim should talk to their lawyer as much as possible and address any questions or concerns they have about how their legal claim process is playing out. Attorney Angell’s new post also cautioned victims about giving a statement to an insurance company right away after an accident. This is to avoid a victim having their words that were given at a time of great stress and confusion being twisted and used in a manner that will work against them in court.

As pointed out in the new blog, other mistakes that personal injury victims commonly make when filing a legal claim include a victim thinking they have to go to court, not seeking medical attention, waiting too long to file, and accepting the first offer from the insurance company. Claims mistakes are also made when victims think they have already waited too long to long to file a claim, don’t file a claim because they think they are at fault, or discussing pre-existing conditions with a defendant’s insurance providers legal team.

not your fault, you need to be sure that the insurance companies give you the compensation you deserve.\u00a0\r\nAlong with any physical damages, there's a chance you'll need additional compensation to cover your medical expenses and any other costs associated with the accident.\r\nUnfortunately, it's not always easy to get the compensation you deserve.\r\nThe liability claims process doesn't always go smoothly.\u00a0\r\nVictims often find themselves frustrated by a lack of response from the insurance company in charge.\r\nOr in some severe cases, the insurance companies just refuse to treat victims fairly at all.\u00a0\r\nThis leaves many unsure of what to do next.\u00a0\r\nThis is when it becomes absolutely necessary to hire a lawyer to help you with your claim.\r\nMany people injured by other peoples negligence mistakenly think they don't have immediate access to qualified help and therefore risk making decisions that could jeopardize their rights.\u00a0\r\nIn the article below, we will discuss several common mistakes to avoid when filing your personal lawsuit.\r\nAvoiding these mistakes will allow you to start your claim with an edge and improve your likelihood of maximizing your potential compensation value.\r\n\r\n\r\nTable of Contents\r\n\r\n \tThinking You Can\u2019t Afford A Lawyer\r\n\r\n \tRepresenting Yourself\r\n\r\n \tAccepting What Your Lawyer Says Without Question\r\n\r\n \tGiving The Insurance Company An Official Statement\r\n\r\n \tThinking You Have To Go To Court\r\n\r\n \tNot Seeking Medical Attention\r\n\r\n \tWaiting Too Long to File\r\n\r\n \tAccepting The First Offer From The Insurance Company\r\n\r\n \tThinking You\u2019ve Already Waited Too Long\r\n\r\n \tNot Filing A Claim Because You Think You're At-Fault\r\n\r\n \tDiscussing Pre-Existing Conditions\r\n\r\n \tContact The Angell Law Firm\r\n\r\n\r\nThinking You Can't Afford A Lawyer\r\nMany lawyers charge their fees are up-front, but personal injury lawyers charge a contingency fee.\r\nA contingency fee means your lawyer will take your case with no payment upfront.\r\nThey only collect a fee if they obtain a settlement in your case.\u00a0\r\nSo, you have nothing to lose by hiring a lawyer because they will only take a small percentage of your overall settlement.\r\nAnd, by using a lawyer, your settlement will typically be much higher than what the insurance company will offer without one.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\nRepresenting Yourself\r\nSometimes people injured in accidents will try to handle their personal injury claim by themselves and end up filing independently.\u00a0\r\nBefore you try to do this, you need to keep in mind that the insurance companies and their lawyers know insurance law much better than the average citizen.\r\nThey handle lawsuits daily.\u00a0\r\nIf you want to get the compensation you deserve for your personal injury claim, you need the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer.\r\nYour lawyer will understand the tricks and advocate for your interests throughout the process.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\nAccepting What Your Lawyer Says Without Question\r\nAsking questions about your personal injury claim is key to staying informed and involved in the settlement process.\u00a0\r\nRemember, you chose your lawyer and hired him to help you with your injury claim.\u00a0\r\nAs such, you have the right and the obligation to question anything they do regarding your claim.\r\nIf you ever feel like your current lawyer is not handling your claim properly, you can always look for a new lawyer.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\nGiving The Insurance Company An Official Statement\r\nThe insurance company will try to secure a recorded statement from you quickly after an accident.\r\nThey do this to see if it\u00a0 can be used as testimony against you so they can deny your personal injury claim later on.\u00a0\r\nHowever, immediately following your accident, you are more likely to confuse essential details that could determine who is at fault.\r\nThe meaning of your words can be twisted.\u00a0\r\nNever give any statement to an insurance company without first speaking with a lawyer.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\n\r\nThinking You Have To Go To Court\r\nMost personal injury claims can settle outside of court.\r\nOnce your personal injury lawyer reviews the initial settlement offer and negotiates for fair compensation, they can typically be settled without going to court.\u00a0\r\nYour lawyer will do everything in their power to avoid court, to avoid taking up valuable time and resources.\u00a0\r\nStill, a good lawyer will not avoid a trial when they know it will get you the compensation you are entitled to.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\nNot Seeking Medical Attention\r\nSome victims may think they don't need to see a doctor after an accident unless there are apparent injuries.\u00a0\r\nHowever, countless car accident injuries are not immediately apparent.\u00a0\r\nIf you don't seek medical attention, and you start to notice injuries that are not included in your accident claim, you won't be able to seek compensation for them.\u00a0\r\nIt is always in your best interest to seek medical attention quickly after an accident.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\nWaiting Too Long To File\r\nThe statute of limitations in Georgia allows for two years from the date of the accident for a claim to be filed.\u00a0\r\nBut if you are recovering from catastrophic injuries, many of those months are spent in hospitals and rehab.\r\nThey aren't spent taking care of the necessary paperwork to start your injury claim.\r\nThat's why you need to talk to a personal injury attorney right away so they can get your claim started before it is too late.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\nAccepting The First Offer From The Insurance Company\r\nYour insurance company needs to settle as soon as possible to reduce their costs.\u00a0\r\nThe first offer the insurance company gives you is rarely, if ever, the best offer they can provide.\r\nThe insurance representatives may also ask you to sign a release preventing you from seeking any further compensation after accepting their initial offer.\u00a0\r\nWithout the help of an attorney, you could be forfeiting your right to a fair settlement.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\n\r\nThinking You've Already Waited Too Long\r\nThe two-year timeframe to file does move quickly but never give up because you think you've waited too long to file.\r\nEvery personal injury lawyer worth your time will offer free consultations to review your case.\u00a0\r\nThey can tell you for sure whether or not you waited too long.\u00a0\r\nAlso, some types of injuries, like surgical errors, may not be discovered for years after the actual surgery.\r\nThe statute of limitations will work differently for that type of claim.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\nNot Filing A Claim Because You Think You're At-Fault\r\nGeorgia is a fault-based state with comparative negligence laws at the 50 percent bar rule.\u00a0\r\nThis means that more than one party in an accident can be found partially at fault.\r\nIf one party is found to be at least 50 percent at fault, they can't recover damages.\u00a0\r\nBut even if found partially at fault for an accident, you can recover part of a settlement, as long as your fault isn't over 49 percent.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\nDiscussing Pre-Existing Conditions\r\nDisclosing pre-existing medical conditions to insurance adjusters will allow them to use them against you to offer you less than you deserve.\u00a0\r\nHaving an attorney representing your interests is always the best option to prevent any actions that might affect your settlement.\r\n-back to top\r\n\r\nContact The Angell Law Firm\r\nThese are the most common mistakes to avoid after your accident.\r\nThe lawyers at the Angell Law Firm want you to help you avoid these common mistakes during your case.\u00a0\r\nYou deserve fair treatment and respect.
