I saw this yesterday and made me check the overwatch porn on hentai foundry.
It was at 25 pages yesterday(this is with me not logged in so pictures were filtered out)

Today I checked hentai foundry and it's at 21 pages(again didn't log in so there's probably some pictures filtered.)

They're definitely not going after just SFM porn using their models now.
Overwatch porn is gonna get wrecked.

Any lawfags on /v/ that can explain why or why not Blizzard can restrict the use of SFM models? I'd like to understand it.
>>
>>339631727
1. It's all drawings on that site
2. The pornographic versions of their models are not their models. They have to be built with new meshes and textures, Blizzard doesn't just have naked Tracer and Widowmaker in their game you know. There is MORE than enough deviation from the original that it's easily a transformative/parody work, which falls well within the scope of fair use.

Blizzard are the only fucking company to pull this shit repeatedly, and it's bullshit that people defend it.

>>339633742

Blizzard's case is that they're using official models which is arguably true, the artists are taking the official models and remodeling them to include vagina/breasts/penis models as well. But I don't know enough about legal shit on when the line gets blurry.

However, they're also taking down drawn drawings as well, which can argued that those drawings count as parody works and you actually have a strong case to counter that.

But most artists don't have the time or money to contest this. A lot of them will just fold and move onto something else.

And this is the crux of the matter. Even if Blizz is in the wrong (they are, imo) it doesn't matter. They've got money and lawyers that your R34 creators don't, so they can push them around with DMCA's and get their way without a problem.

The game is marketed towards all ages, but with an emphasis on the teen/kid demographic.

Blizzard is probably facing pressure from angry parents to crack down on the Overwatch porn. I imagine that little Timmy is going online and doing innocent searches for stuff like "Tracer hits Widowmaker from the back", then little Timmy finds more than he expected, and then his parents get mad.

Fun fact: fair use isn't carte blanche to do whatever you want with existing properties.

Fanfiction and fanart don't necessarily fall under fair use. Companies legally can take down fan works if they really wanted to. They don't though, because 1) it's expensive with virtually no money to be made and 2) it makes fans hate you.

>Neither do you, or you would have corrected them instead of being a faggot.

Because copyright and even fair use alone is complicated as fuck and trying to explain how it works in less then like 10 paragraphs is a bitch

Here's a t;dr though:

1: Porn isn't automatically protected under parody. In fact, what is or isn't parody has a pretty specific legal meaning in this context. A parody speffically has to be commenting or ridilicuing the allegedly infringed work in question, which is distinct from satire, or situational humor ul;itizing the work.

The porn isn't making some sort of social; commentary on overwatch, so it probably wouldn't qualify. On top of that, it's not an instant get out of jail free card, it's merely an additional factor on top of the 4 points of consideration when determining is something is fair use or not.

On that note....

2. Fair use isn't cut and dry, and if something counts as fair use or not heavily depends on the spefficis of the insdivual case, but in general, 4 factors are weighed:

A:The purpose of the allegedly infringed work. is it making money? is it nonprofit? Is it for educational use? Etc.
B: The nature of the original work. Is it factual or fictional, is it of historical value, was it intended to be for public consumption or private consumption, etc.
C: How much of the original work is being used in the alledged infinging one, and how important the parts used are
D: How the allegedly infringing work would affect the commercial value of the original work or the brand, if at all

When deciding if something counts as fair use, a judge is considering those factors. You don't nesscarily need to meet all 4 to count as fair use, but even if you meet all 4, you might still not count as it, it depends, and the bar for counting as fair use (sadly) is much higher then what you think it would be.

>>
>>339638680
Cont:

Putting side the question of fanart in general since I could do another two whole posts on that, almost all overwatch porn is likely to not fall under fair use because they arguably fall afoul of the 4th standard, which is usually considered the most important (effect on market value or brand). Blizzard would argue in court that the porn harms their image and makes it less likely that parents would buy the product for their kid.

>b-but it's giving them expsoure!
Yeah, it is, and while I personally agree it's getting them at least as much sales as it is losing them, that argument isn't gonna fly in court, especially not with judges who are in their 40's-60's.

I'm not saying it SHOULDN'T be fair use, i'm just saying it likely WOULDN'T be.

You have to understand that a lot of people are willfully taking down their own work out of fear till this blows over. There's been porn of Blizzard characters for a long time now. Rexx has made a living off doing WoW porn for years and he's been doing fine. He made a really good post on the whole situation. Blizzard likely went out of there way to make sure as much content as possible linked from mainstream sites went to dead links. After that it's a waiting game for the whole thing to die down. The LAST thing you want to do is make it a big deal and keep it in the mind of the public. As long as you do that shit will keep being taken down. Blizzard has no issue with porn of their characters so long as it stays in the spaces where such things are considered acceptable.
>>
>>339640829
Danbooru has all of the things you just listed, except for the shitty cosplay.
Danbooru also actually provides the sources for images, has a quality filter instead of keeping every shit that gets posted, has pools that are actually useful, and has far better tagging.
Gelbooru is certainly not helped by it getting most of its shit from Danbooru with a scraper that doesn't include the source link and does nothing to fix tagging errors or any tag changes made after the original upload.

Few people are not going to buy the game over this, and those who might have probably already purchased it. This will bring the game to the attention of people who don't normally hear about games, possibly perking their interest and netting sales from them.

Which you would have no reason to do on Danbooru since 99% of content is properly sourced.
>Danbooru has way less content, especially for niche vidya.
What a joke, Danbooru only has less content in the sense of less shit getting approved due to being low quality. For this reason Gelbooru is only better for a wank because your dick isn't as concerned about all the piss poor art on there. And again, Gelbooru gets the vast majority of its content from scraping Danbooru's uploads and copying them over with whatever tags it has at the time.

Law student here, not a lawyer but a went and did a quick lookup on faor use in american law.

So the deal is that you can infringe copyright with the defense of fair use only under the following situations: parody purposes, review purposes, and (highly limited) educational purposes.

Unfortunately, using ripped game models/textures does count as infringement under us ip law.

There is the case of derivative works, long story short: if you take models/textures but edit them enough that your own creative input is significant to the new product, then its ok. (a good example would be thay famous painting of the mona lisa with a mustache added on). It counts as a "derivative work" and so is protected.

However, it seems that in the case of the overwatch porn, it would only count as derivative works if the models and textures were themselves edited heavily, rather than the fact that they are positioned in ways you dont see in game.

Furthermore (the final nail in the coffin for anyone trying to defend tjeir case), the overwatch characters are all trademarked ny blizzard. A trademark is a copyright which means that the asset is used as a symbol of recognition for the bkizzard product, therefore e.g if they are used in porn it could likely have a negative impact (at least the court would say) on the public image of overwatch as a franchise as a whole, so is protected by blizzard


Only 2d fanarts etc which dont use copyrighted models/textures are safe from all of the above, since cases prove that fanworks are derivative pieces.

That would cause a serious streisand effect and there's no precedent for your assertion for any of their other games.

Blizzard simply wants this shit to blow over. They didn't care until shit was posted on Kotaku. They won't care again once it leaves the mind of the public. Returning to the status quo is their aim, and if it wasn't then lot of other stuff would have been taken down.

Do you have any examples? It's not that I don't believe you, I'd just like to do some more reading.

Anon, the image OP talked about was removed and was 2D.

However, some people ITT and in the link were saying it was a bot that sent the DMCA simply because the animated tag was used, so could the artist do something about this?

You keep talking about the sources like its something good to have. Its there if you care so much, gets your wannabe artist ass in a bunch too easily, worse than a tumblerina.

I went on many tags for many games without the intention to look for porn, you just went and took it for granted. Quality is way better than danbooru for it comes straight from pixiv and such. There's more content, get over it.

You are taking it too personal. Do you upload stuff to danbooru? If yes you and your buddies do a shit job at it, for people prefer Gelbooru.

5 pages disappeared overnight. They were original drawings. All 3D works submitted to hentai foundry must be original and by the author.

ie create your own model etc.

Because it is?

I don't even understand what you're saying here.
>I went on many tags for many games without the intention to look for porn, you just went and took it for granted.
Or here.
>Quality is way better than danbooru for it comes straight from pixiv and such.
This doesn't even make sense. If both sites are taking the same image from the source, there would be zero difference in quality. But mind you there is still a difference because Danbooru is set up to retrieve the source directly from Pixiv when adding an image whereas Gelbooru relies on users saving and reuploading themselves.
>If yes you and your buddies do a shit job at it, for people prefer Gelbooru.
People prefer Gelbooru because they're too retarded to install an extension to unhide Danbooru's loli and shota content and because they think more = better and don't care that Danbooru has significantly higher quality standards.
I'm hardly even an uploader, I've only put like ten images on Danbooru. I just prefer it for being better in just about every regard.

Yeah its a mistake by blizzard to remove the 2d (unless ofcourse its an exact copy of blizzard official art, with little to no alterations e.g. a traceover))

The artist couldnt have his art reuploaded, because the website host has every right to discriminate on which pieces get uploaded or not, even if they know its not illegal tobhost such pics

lel, i thought they were pretending to be ignorant about it because it's obviously extremely effective free promotion but i guess they feel the need to put up some moral pretense

Too lazy to find cases right noe, but duchamps monalisa isnt disimilar to fanart.

The main idea howver is that fanarts arent monetized. As infringment is a civil cause of action, its all about "who's got the better case", rather than strict "beyond doubt" facts. So usually things like heavy editing and lack of monetization helps the infringer's case.

Cases about public domain ip law are every interesting, a while back i followed a case (still in appeal i iirc) about the happy birthday song, which for most of the last century had royalties given to the original publishers of the songbook it was first released in, however turns out the real authors died a long time ago and so the version oublished by the company didnt represent the original version of the song, so the song was unknowingly in the oublic domain, and this companty now has to pay back millions that it took in royalties.

Also mickey mouse is interesting, because the original design by walt disney is going to the public domain soon, hence over last couple decades the design of mickey mouse changed drastically by disney, so they could copyrigbt the new design and use it, while letting the old one enter the public domain

Sorry for mot finding actual cases on fanworks, i just read that there are cases on fanworks but not bothered to go into the citations for cases. Go search derivative works for more info i guess

He put it on his tumblr, though tumblr itself could decide to comply with Blizzard. This will be interesting to see but I hope Blizzard doesn't go any farther with this, it's really shitty.

Not to muddle the issue further, but trademarks and copyrights are entirely separate ideas, but they both all under the idea of intellectual property.

very few people do. copyright laws are a goddamn mess and fair use laws are even worse.

I can immediately tell this game is going to be shit since people only care about the porn and skins from lootboxes.

I'm already feeling that buyer's remorse.

They have convinced me not to buy the game because of their decision. Thanks Blizzard for making it clear to me. I was indecisive before. Now I'm certain.
