Moomin Corp Has Been Handling It As Almsot Any Other Company Should I Belive Unless Theres Some Thing Idk About - Tumblr Posts
I know I shouldn’t do this but I have a take about the moomin Corp situation, well more so of what is acceptable to spread and what’s not.
IT SHOULD BE OK TO DISTRIBUTE EPISODES OF THE MOOMINS AND CERTAIN FORMS OF MEDIA...
Under these cercimstances!;
The episode is no longer distributed in most areas meaning it’s no longer on air on any tv channels, it’s not easily found/almost lost media or if it’s not on any of the moomins official pages!
Good examples of what you CAN do in my eyes at least : re-posting episodes of the 60s adaptation that was primarily only for Japanese audiences (especially if you make some sort of fan dub or translations for alternate audiences! (You are putting effort and time and ADDING some thing to the pre-existing media that wasn’t there before! Not to mention it’s not some thing that’s being regularly distributed or re-printed! Meaning it could become lost media if not looked after so in my eyes distributing this is a good thing! Or even distributing episodes of the 90s series if it’s from the second season as long as you add some thing to it, such as new dub or sub that wasn’t there because once again moomincorp isn’t distributing it not even on YouTube
(Shortened explanation adding sub or dub to some thing that isn’t outwardly distributed any more that has potential of becoming lost media is OK to do!)
BAD sharing example!: sharing images of comics or media of theres that is mass produced, examples; if the comic is currently being printed such as the Lars jannson or Tove jannson comics DONT TOUCH IT! If it has a translation? DONT TOUCH IT! If it’s re-printing a design that isn’t your and selling it for a profit doNt touch it!
Good example of distribution!:if the comic is out of print and not making said company any money? Go ahead and share! Examples of comics that are no longer distributed/translated(to my knowledge) Finnish children’s magazines with the moomins in it that ended printing in early 2000s feel free to share! And even better? Translate to your hearts content! (There’s actually a creator on tumblr who’s been translating and re-posting the comics she has that is a good form of sharing media so it doesn’t become lost!
In short DONT claim the characters to be yours. (That’s an obvious given) BUT feel free to share fan art, FAN MADE translations, and moomins media that is not being profited off of currently!
I think that’s simple enough and of course don’t go and ask the moomins Corp if there ok with it or not because legally them (and almost any other animation company) has to say no to fan art and fan creations of any sort despite the fact they won’t really take legal action on it
Please keep in mind this is just my view on the subject and how I see it... no hate towards any one and if any one has any takes on it I would love to hear them if there not rude/insulting twords any one.
*nervous laugh* my dad just told me if I get sued by m**mincorp I’m on my own
