Fanfics aren't illegal. Only trying to make a profit off of them is. If you care so much about "art" then you'd be happy to make art for its own sake, for personal satisfaction, and not just to get rich.

retarded take, copyright laws definitely aren't perfect but definitely aren't inherently detrimental to art. Protecting artists and their ability to make money and giving large companies financial incentive to invest in art are good things when done right

Surely there's a middle ground between "making art to get rich" and "making art for its own sake."

Copyright lasting as long as it does is totally fucked, but it existing is what keeps popular but small artists from getting ripped off by giant corporations.
Copyright should go back to being what it was changed to in the 70s, the life of the author plus 50 years.

Name one product made in the last 10 years that was a worthwhile use of the public domain

'Intellectual property' is just bad in general and stifles innovation and creativity.

Companies take down fanfics all the time

Name some examples.

WHERE"S THE ORIGINAL CONTENT

Wow, so you're not just a Loud House fan, you're a Loud House colonizer?

there is, it’s called making original stuff. if you want to make fanart—or use an already existing IP in general—and get money from it, then refer back to

Any Forums, show me THE FORBIDDEN FANFICS

Got a question what is the point of the public domain if you can't use the character even when the copyright expires?

Think about it, pretend Spiderman or Batman are public domain? Well you can't use their universal icons on their chests. You put a generic bat caricature or spider drawing on their chests? Boom lawsuit for trademark. Superman is even worse because the symbol on his chest is merely a capital S a very commonly used thing in general. Yet that's trademarked so no go for the public domain. You also can't call the characters in question by their names, no you can't call Peter Parker well Peter Parker and much less call him Spiderman. Same to the other heroes.

It feels like there is no such thing as copyright expiration for characters from the following industries comics and animation. But if it's a book series like Winnie Pooh oh the copyright ABSOLUTELY expires with no trademark pitfall either.

but being original is HAAARD

Stay mad that you'll never make money of a series you don't own.

Of the last ten years you say? Most certainly Adventure Time. I think Adventure Time is shit even when it started, but seeing that show get derailed across the years by hacks and cunts? Better let passionate fans try their own thing.

This. And add video game characters as well. Their copyright can never expire so that they enter the public domain. Nintendo will never allow Mario and their other characters to enter the public domain.

Copyright protects artists from poor imitation fan projects which would ruin the reputation and earning potential of the original work.

I agree to an extent. The endless reboots and sequels by companies resting their laurels on properties from decades ago show that copyright in its current iteration is a failure at help. Too many cultural milestones are in the hands of corporate entities that don't give a flying fuck about preservation. there's media that would be lost without illegitimate copying/recording done by fans. imagine a world where DC can't just spam out all these different variants of Batman for decades on end to stay afloat. If Batman entered the public domain in a more reasonable timespan (30 years), DC would have to instead put that energy into new IP development, same with Marvel and other companies super-reliant on their monopoly on iconic properties.

Nobody would care about Batman today if he only lasted 30 years

This. Somebody who says copyright should be done away with altogether is just as much of a brainless pleb as the mouse addicts who defend keeping things the way they are.
