Whom do you license the Original Content from? Or do you steal it without recompensation?
- Uberphallus 5y agoParody/satire is generally fair use.
- trolololooo 5y agoI wonder if that protects the person who makes the parody, rather than the app developer who make $4K a month. Lawyers will not typically go after targets that don't have money for payouts.
- hnick 5y agoOnly if you are parodying the content used. If you use copyrighted content to parody something else, you aren't protected. Penny Arcade had to pull a comic back in the day when they misunderstood this.
- par 5y agoI've always been concerned about this, but there are so many meme creation tools out there that don't seem to be impacted by this problem.
- giarc 5y agoI'd say just be ready to take down an image if someone approaches you and you should be fine.
- langitbiru 5y agoI mean Elon Musk steals memes all the time. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/07/style/elon-musk-memes.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/07/style/elon-musk-memes.htm... Technically speaking, building a meme platform that takes recompensation into account is an interesting problem. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1370373708506750977?lang=en https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1370373708506750977?lang=...
