Why is this allowed? Why is no legal action taken against the Chinese every time they do this?
>legal action
>against china
that's pretty funny m8
Nobody plays their shit games anyway. People are fully aware it is a ripoff of something better.
>>344823527
Paid for by the organs of many
Because it's allowed there because they don't release it outside of China
>>344823527
I see no similarities
Because China is one of the two truly independent and sovereign nations, not being an American satellite (the other being Russia).
>>344823527
>Why
Because China's government defends their own no matter what and doing anything against them would basically require a literal war.
Also,
>Iron Man
>Hulk, but with Purple Hair and basic armor bits
>EVE
>Ichigo
>Thor
>Some vaguely familiar samurai who could pass for many characters
>Goku
>Possibly a variant of Patches/Pudge/etc. of the fat butcher that eats things zealously
Because it's in China not in America or any other country.
Besides, China basically does whatever the fuck it wants.
>>344823527
Suing doesn't exist in china.
>>344823527

You people realize that threads asking this question are basically the same as threads asking "what did he/she mean by this?"
Also
>implying any of those characters can defeat Madara Uchiha
>>344823854
I have seen this game on the US play store
>>344823527
copy right laws are so fucked in in the west that i have no problem with this
(Disney crack downs on anyone using their characters who are over 70 years old, who at this point have become cultural icons that should be fair game)
>>344823527
China will run you through a gauntlet of bullshit if you try to take them to court over this. It will be in Chinese court too, mind you. They have no interest in letting a lawsuit go through.
In short, you'll bleed money and get nothing for it.
>>344824090
Ah, i stopped watching Naruto, so it all faded from memory.I stopped watching Bleach too, but main characters are always iconic and I never saw an episode with Madara.
>>344824150
>basically the same as threads asking "what did he/she mean by this?"
What is wrong with those threads?
>>344824356
Madara basically saved the series.
>>344824090
Is there any video game character that can beat Bladara Uchicuchi?
>>344824342
It's their fucking IP, they have every right to do that.

I like to think that somewhere out there, there's some guy in China who's super comfy at his job thinking of how his favorite anime characters such as Shrek would work in a Moba
>>344823527
China takes great pride in anything that it makes, and it takes great pride in defeating western powers that attempt to contest anything it does.
You're going to be suing a Chinese company in a Chinese court system with the government definitely having a hand in what's going on. They will throw money at the courts until you eventually cut your losses and run away.
There's really nothing you can do about it.

>>344824471

>>344823527
It's finally happening, all that crossover fanfiction our mexican friends kept writing in middle school is coming true.
>>344824740
That's literally how its worked for ages, retard
The Chinese literally don't care. In China everything is about making money.
>>344823527
>legal action
>against a country that doesn't recognize copyright.
ok
>>344826080
Probably because Bram Stokers family doesn't give a fuck about Dracula or making money out of it. Disney on the other hand...
>>344824904
You're not an art school dropout by any chance?
>>344823527
China does not care, they literally have a company called iPhone that sued apple and won
>>344824740
>>344824781
copyright laws were made to protect creators not corporations
what if the Grimm's Fairy Tales were under control by a corporation that kept the copyright under "protection" were 200 years later you so as much couldn't dress up as a character without getting sued?
that's basically the control Disney has over their characters
are you telling me its right for people to get sued for evening mentioning the existence of a band, song, or cartoon character that's been so old that its a cultural icon?
it'd be like if Hercules was under copyright
>>344826167
>mexicans are working with the chinese so both of them can achieve their deepest desires

Except disney only became huge by using public domain stories, then proceeded to make sure nothing they used becomes public domain.
They didnt make Cinderella anymore than I did.
>>344826173
Damn, that's some effective brainwashing at work
You may not believe this, but it hasn't always been illegal to depict a fictional character imagined by another person.
>>344826443
>couldn't dress up as a character without getting sued
I see you've never been to New York, where people are constantly accosted by spiderman and mickey mouse.
>>344824342
I wouldn't mind if copyright was limited to say, 10 years, or even just the creators lifespan, but thanks to companies like Disney copyright is out of control.
>>344826901
Disney once sued a family who were using Tigger as a character for children parties
>>344823932
Makes u think...
>>344826768
exactly, Disney got rich off characters they didn't create who were over 50 years old, why can't i just because its there's?
or so as much reference them
>>344827067
>Disney once sued a family who were using Tigger as a character for children parties
As in, their own family's parties, or as a business, for profit? One of those involves licensing, which means paying for rights.
>>344827183
You can entirely use Cinderella in any way you want, as long as you avoid the Disney specific things they made up on their own for the movie they made.
>>344827213
profit, but its a small business
and the Winnie-the-Pooh characters are almost a century old and the creator is long dead
>>344823527
>dat goku
Where can i download this japanese game?
Because China.
>>344823527
If it's any consolation the Chinese are living within a giant Final Destination movie, where everything is out to kill them in strange and horrific ways.
Ripoffs are the least of their problems.
>>344823527
You have to sue them in Chinese courts, who never, ever, never ever, enforce copyrights.
There was a case where VW sued a Chinese car company for infringement. They brought evidence that the Chinese car was 100% identical to the VW car, right down to the size measurement on the screws and bolts. Chinese court ruled that the cars were different in every way and the lawsuit was frivolous.
If they published these games internationally they might run into problems but their country is so huge they can just stick to internal profits and never worry about it ever.
>>344823527
It's China. You aren't going to do shit.
Because suing is way too fucking stupid elsewhere. You have shit like Capcom suing because of button layouts in fighting games, or because they think a game is like SF (Fighter's History Dynamite) even though SF was full of unoriginal copies for characters anyway.
It's just a shitty race. Whoever can ripoff the next big thing and file it as their copyright wins because they then aggressively fuck over anyone who does the same thing but isn't fast enough.
>>344824356
Dude bleach just keeps getting worse. Naruto dragged the fuck on and on, but it at least stuck with the plot it inteneded besides some weird mojo in the end. Bleach is just...fuck it's like diarrhea in motion.
Fact: Chinese and slavs are the most powerful races in the world.
Those feats of Chinese engineering that you guys meme about are actually ingenious tests design to make their population alert and improve their reflexes, so that they can conquer the world when they're drafted into the military.
>>344827403
It won't be long until Tolkien's works are the same, as long as the IP is doing things, its active, and Winnie the Pooh still makes money, as does LotR.
>>344827213
>Hey Disney, can we pay for license to use Tigger for our children's parties, we make about 100$ per party?
>Sure, the price is one billion dollars
>>344827371
Except when disney made that movie, by the laws at the time, it should have been public domain. They just keep pushing it back because they want to take old folklore, make a bunch of money, and tell everyone you can't use it.
Good luck using Cinderella and PROVING it's not based off Disney's works, btw. They will just lawyer you to death.
>>344823527
you have to copyright your product in china if you want it to be safe from the chinese.

Nigga stop being a pussy. Here in Mexico at least 99% of children parties have an unlicensed character played by some sad teenager. And yes, they do charge money and nope, thery aren't exactly cheap.

If you can't react to the floor beneath you suddenly collapsing into a mess of grinding gears that rip you to pieces, you aren't prepared for the next major battle, sorry burger.
>>344827856
There are a number of movies alone based on Cinderella that have been made without Disney suing them. Typically they were awful, but you're really just wrong.

>>344827821
That's why you use any other name for your tiger character, and don't give it a spring tail. That's 100% all you need.
Calling it Tigger and/or making it a direct copy are and should remain illegal.
>>344823527
Because international law doesn't work that way.Although if the TPP supporters get their way it will.
>>344823781
This. The only people who play Chinese games are Chinese people. Good thing for these shitty companies there are a billion Chinese people who eat up crap like this

>>344828478
Yes, that was entirely my point. Anons don't seem to realize that as long as you don't copy the Disney specific elements of folk tales they don't sue you, and if they try, they don't win.
>>344828208
You're missing out anon, we got superheroes as well
In China plagiarism isn't shameful like it is in the west
in China, its better to copy something that already works than to make something original
>>344828673
Not strictly true, its better to make a successful copy than a risky original.
A successful original is just as good or slightly better than a successful copy, but it isn't often worth the risk.

He's with Skeleton King now, forever ballin' out of control in Heaven.;_;7
>>344828250
how is some wanker in a Tigger costume and earning couple of hundreds hurting Disney? If anything, he's making shit more popular.
Because China's government doesn't give a fuck and the blatant ripoffs aren't a threat against the real IPs.
>>344828556
>>344828478
My point is that Disney used these properties in order to make their stories, which is fine, but then they make a push like anything they add is somehow sacred and shouldn't be used for like a hundred years after they make it. It's insane. Building and remixing what came before you has been the essence of story telling and art for generations. Disney wants a monopoly on their stories long after they have a reasonable amount of time to make profit off of it.
>>344829689
>>344828974
Reminder that if you don't protect your IP you can lose it to the person using it. It isn't about a family ripping disney off, the money is irrelevant, the potential legal ramifications could cause them to lose the entirety of the IP if they willfully ignore it.
>>344827067
Sounds like they were running a business, which is the whole point.
>>344829834
I'm not arguing about if they'd lose it, I'm arguing it shouldn't last as long as it does. The original copyright laws in the US were for 28 years, which is a perfectly reasonable amount of time.
>>344830043
What about ongoing things, such as the comics industry? A hard 28 year limit would kill any value to their works even today, let alone in the future.
>>344830174
>kill any value
>people will stop buying new comics if the old ones become public domain
>>344823527
i heard some truly disturbing stories about China.
Is this true that if you make public knowledge that criticizes the Chinese government or even mention that they are bad, then they will kidnap you and put you in prison until you sign a document and make a press conference admitting that you never made such allegations and that you were never kidnapped and you came here on your own free will?
I also remember hearing one foul story from the mother of a victim. She said that her son went missing after doing something similar like that and the investigative statement was that her son went crazy and checked himself into a mental institution where he killed himself. And their family had no history of mental illnesses.
>>344830174
three decades is a long time to profit anon. If you only have 1 good idea every 3 decades, then perhaps your company shouldn't be in business.
How many companies like disney, ones that would create a new golden era of stories and wonder for kids, or maybe intriguing complex plots, based off previous works, have we lost, because aspiring authors couldn't use stories told in their generation?
Currently, copyright lasts until the creator's death, PLUS SEVENTY YEARS. That's absurd. The author isn't going to be able to make more stories after they die.

If the character are public domain, any company can make merchandise featuring them. Merchandising makes up a HUGE portion of profits, as well as driving sales, and having completely legal competetition for your OWN merchandise kills your profits. If marvel/dc can't profit from their own characters likeness, they stop making merchandise. See X-men right now, 0 merchandise, because it benefits Fox.
>>344830515

>>344830721
And yet, think of all the good stories taking things that are copyright to the Tolkien estate we COULD have. Imagine what a golden era disney could make out of an IP like LOTR, the same way the used fairytales, or Tarzan.
Nothing is stopping his son from making works, and having copyright over elements that are new and his.
>it's a retards think every IP that's over 20 years old should be in public domain episode
>>344823527
I hate china but at the same time their bootlegs make my day.
China at the end of the day likes buying western goods because they know they are lying cheating bastards and knock offs.
So in china, you buy a real iphone to be cool. You can actually buy the same thing for far less, but the brand name is worth a lot to the chinese.

That's how it worked for over a hundred years. Or do you think between the release of the Star Wars: A New Hope, and 2005, Lucas didn't make enough money? I mean, there was only...
The theatrical release in
the rerlease in1978
and in 1979
and 1981
1982
Then the 1982 VHS/beta max release
1984 Broadcast television release
1985 laser disc release
1989 Wide screen laser disc release
1990 VHS rerelease
1992 wide screen VHS release
1993 laser disc rererelease
1995 vhs rererelease
1997 special edition theatrical release
1997 VHS special edition
and the 2004 DVD release.
(this of course, doesn't count the merchandising, at all)

I think the stronger argument when it comes to Disney and public domain is that their first decade of movies were almost entirely from the public domain to begin with, a lot of those ideas were 'borrowed'. They're discouraging people from doing exactly what they did

You sound like the rich shill talking heads on TV who claim that anyone questioning the status quo knows nothing about economics.
>>344829834
>Reminder that if you don't protect your IP you can lose it to the person using it.
sick of this meme desu
We're not even stopping letting china kill people for their organs. Why would we even bother with copy right shit?

It's just fucking terrible and I wish it'd finally be put to an end.
>>344832192
Except for the fact that places like Costa Rica still do it and Texas only just got a ban put out for it.
>>344832337
Because China and the Asian market's one of the main reasons animals like the Elephant, Rhino, Tigers, etc. are still being poached?
Those dumb motherfuckers think anything has medicinal value, and the problem is that it's such a fuck huge market.
>>344832543
you sound like an uneducated virgin that hates copyright because nintendo C&D'd his favorite fan project
>>344832337
Because they slaughter them by the thousands, mostly discarding everything but the fin, you dumb fucking faggot. Your culture doesn't mean shit when it starts damaging ecosystems.
>>344824471
90 years lockdown over media is way too long. You fuckers like to pretend all media companies were going bankrupt before they extended copyright protections
>>344825761
Looks like the new pokemon.
>>344832337
Because the whole whale is used and they show restraint.
Compare Australian and Chinese shark fishing practices plz

50 years is fine.
We already know some creators aren't even finished with their IPs after 30 years (Simpsons, Dragon Ball, etc.)
50 years seems like it's pretty fair. The 28 year thing was created when long-lasting IPs for TV shows and movies weren't really a thing.
The second we disband copyright while certain IPs are still insanely popular is when you start seeing Chinese-tier shitty knockoffs. Get read for Dragon Ball Go on Cartoon Network.

>>344832915
50 years doesn't sound too bad to me, what is the current limit, including if the creators choose to extend it?
>>344832915
Why 50? Why not until the copyright holders say they're done with it?
>>344823527
Glad to see they've finally made a Sense of Right Alliance video game.
>>344823527
The only way to even successfully file a lawsuit in China is to nuke the entire country.
>>344833056
They don't have to choose to extend it, everything is automatic now except registry, which is only needed to enforce.
>>344832915
The whole point is people should be able to remix and remaster things of their own generation. 30 years is still an insane amount of time.
The purpose of copyright law isn't to stop people making things, just the opposite, it's supposed to encourage people making things by saying "for this long, you can profit off it, and ONLY you".
>>344833056
Life time of the author + 70 years.

>>344833081
Because copyright holders will never say they're done with it (with some rare exceptions).
Besides, copyright holders can disband their own copyrights whenever they want.
>>344833081
i hope you're joking
where did all these corporate shills come from? they weren't here a few years ago
>>344833081
I think IP holders can already release something to public domain early if they want to
>>344825761
Isn't that just Mimikkyu concept art?
There are no words for "Intellectual property" in the Chinese language
>>344833191
Except I wasn't the poster you replied to. I merely want to know if you actually have an argument.
>>344833185
>The whole point is people should be able to remix and remaster things of their own generation. 30 years is still an insane amount of time.
People can already do this and do it all the time.
The only difference is that people want to make money off of it as well.
>>344830828

You are literally citing a newspaper made by Chinese Scientologists that believes in faith healing and promotes asylum fraud.

>will never say they're done with it
So what? Disney clearly isn't done with Mickey Mouse, and that's more than 50 years old. Why do they have to stop using it if they still want to continue using it?
>>344833285
After 30 years, people should be able to profit off the things that came before them, just like Disney did.
If you can't make a decent amount of money in 30 years, it probably wasn't that good, or you didn't have the skill to use it.
>>344833285
People legally can make money off it.
Fair Use is a lovely thing
>>344833285
You can still be shut down for making free versions of things protected by copyright. Hell you can even actually make money off of copyrighted stuff if you fall under fairuse. The thing is most companies only come after you if they see you making money off it but that isn't like a limit
>>344823527
Dude. This is a country who have passed laws that if a company wants to set-up shop within their borders, then they must fork over to the Government any and all trade secrets, so that they may be shared with THEIR companies in order to "keep the competition playing field level".
The only solution for China is the Final Solution.
>>344832283
With limited internet you don't know anything at all.
>>344823527
IS THAT THE PLANET HULK VARIANT OR HULK.
>>344833510
Sounds smart, why don't we do that?
I can't wait for the Chinese to choke to death from all their smog and pollution.
>>344823527
Other countries have shorter copyright protection than the US right? Are we going to reach a threshold where we start seeing AAA movies that can only be released in Europe and Asia?
>getting rid of copyright will boost creativity int he entertainment industry
>this is what anti-copyrightfags actually believe
Here's a country without copyright. So creative.
>>344830447
Yep. They also kidnap booksellers off the streets of Hong Kong, ship them back to the mainland, torture them for several months, then MAYBE drop them back in Hong Kong again as though nothing happened. All because the book seller sells books Beijing doesn't agree with.
>>344823527
why would you want this to stop? its hilarious.
>>344833682
Not until Europe and Asia actually get a successful AAA film industry.
WW3 is going to happen in the South China Sea, it doesn't matter. Rev up those happenings.
>>344833662
Too bad they're the biggest investor in green technology and aren't in the top 10 in terms of polluted cities anymore. Now it's India's turn.
>>344832638
All the animals could dissappear right now and it would only be a problem for the poachers
>>344833705
>two characters looking up at a street sign is vital intellectual property which must be protected
>>344833705
You're absolutetly right. It's not like the company that made the film on the left has it's start in profiting off remixing existing novels, fairy tales, and other such media, right?
>>344833543
Where's Superman & Hulk?
>>344833643
Bleeding-heart Liberal panty-sniffers, that's why.
>>344830447
We've known for at least the past 10 years that they've been harvesting organs from live people in the millions. And not like black market shit either. Legit hospitals.
The perfect combination of no creativity and no shame
>>344833914
yeah that's totally the only thing they copied
>>344833912
>Anon on /v/ is actually retarded enough to believe this

What? Fucking Venus is probably more hospitable than China.

Doesn't like every action movie just recycle the same poster, they just paste their main characters face in?

Oh, sorry, I forgot that roller coaster they copied, that clown head they copied, that anthropomorphic bunny, which Disney invented and has a monopoly on, and the fact that it's 3d animation.
>>344832103
I saw a man get hit by a motorcycle in Beijing.
Nobody paid him any attention and he had to crawl out of the road.
FUCK COPYRIGHT!
IT KILLS CREATIVITY!

I saw Chinese Hulk drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's.
His hair was perfect.
>>344833731
Actually, the guys were smuggling books into China so they were arrested. The guys now released said contradicting stories.
>>344833870
Lol, WW3 didn't happen when America rejected the International court of justice over ruling against them for sponsoring contra and mining Nicarguara's harbours, why would they start over building a few islands?
Some old fart said the scariest words are "The government is here to help". Stupid white bread, the scariest words are "communism and culture is a good thing"
Blame the void the CCP made after the Culture Revolution. Morals and the ancient ways were destroyed to be replaced by blind following the leadership.
We should get rid of copyright so we can be as creative as China.
Who's with me?
>>344834173
Don't be a retard, Chinanon.
>>344823527
Because China and Chinese people don't give a shit. They're selfish people who would run over children without any remorse, and build their aparments with literal Styrofoam just to save on time and money.

Anyone got that guy on /biz/ or /int/ or whatever it was talking about how the Chinese are all comically conniving and they lie through their teeth all the time, almost ruining companies? Warning the OP not to learn Mandarin, as it would destroy his soul having to work in China.

Chinese companies are protected by Chinese government. Literally untouchable.

That's a very convincing argument.

According to the Falun Gong cult. When the U.S. sent a team to check out the hospital where all the organ harvesting supposedly took place, they found nothing.
