My Gorgeous boi! Looks really nice by the way!

An aesthetic for @cureclover’s oc, the SHSL Cartoonist who’s playful and charming yet calculated, who’s secretly manipulative and sadistic and mainly wears blue and purple clothing. I hope you like it!

Don't forget about what he said about Mary Kay Bergman!

So I’ve been wanting to discuss “who” exactly “owns” fictional characters for a long time. I just want to say that they don’t belong to one person.

Even if one person may have conceived the character(s) that doesn’t really mean the creator “owns” them. No one person owns a character because generally speaking, the buildup of a character’s canon version comes from the input of multiple people anyways. One aspect you really love about a character might not have come from the creator.

And from a legal standpoint, a franchise is typically owned by the network or company that bought the rights for marketing/distribution and the rights can be passed around through lots of legal financial stuff. So it’s not One Person.

I personally like to think that fictional characters belong to everyone. That everyone has their own perceived version or interpretation of the characters that makes them happy that doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the people who made the character in the first place

NIIIICE!! Now I’m a little hungry thank you! XD

But there is still a vote in Spring.

The internet could change next week, and not in a good way

You may have heard about the efforts in Europe to reform copyright law. The debate has been ongoing in the European Parliament for months. If approved next week, these new regulations would require us to automatically filter and block content that you upload without meaningful consideration of your right to free expression. 

We respect the copyrights and trademarks of others, and we take all reports seriously to ensure that your creative expression is protected. We make this clear in our Community Guidelines. There’s already a legal framework that works and is fair: Today we take down posts and media that contain allegedly infringing content when we receive a valid DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown request. We also provide clear-cut ways for people to fight back if they believe their removed content was not a true violation. These instances are monitored and reported and live in our biannual transparency report. 

The suggestion to use automated filters for issues of copyright is short-sighted at best and harmful at worst. Automated filters are unable to determine whether a use should be considered “fair use” under the law and are unable to determine whether a use is authorized by a license agreement. They are unable to distinguish legitimate parody, satire, or even your own personal pictures that could be matched with similar photographs that have been protected by someone else. We don’t believe that technology should replace human judgment. Tumblr is and always has been a place for creative expression, and these new regulations would only make it harder for you to express yourself with the freedom and clarity you do so now. 

If you access Tumblr from Europe and want to act, you can find more information on saveyourinternet.eu.
