I went to the shop to buy stuff and look what I find


Is this a scouter?

My charector

Is this DBZ or am I going blind?

How does that work exactly. Couldn't those people making the live action Saiyan saga movie say it's an homage?VegettoEX wrote:Because they're clearly homages and not directly infringing on any specific trademarks.
Not if they use trademarks like "Dragon Ball" and "Krillin" and "Vegeta" and "Saiyan". That goes beyond homage and parody.Kurillin-Sama wrote:How does that work exactly.

If your not making a profit off from it or have obtained the rights for said-parody, then yes it can still be called a parody.Bussani wrote:
Edit: Well, to be fair, you could use them and still be considered parody, right? Man, it can get complicated.

Even in cases where if something may look similar to something else but is not referred to in name that is the same as the latter, it's still not really much of a problem.DHM211 wrote:Well its a free game but, I had to buy coins to get it.Gonstead wrote:If your not making a profit off from it or have obtained the rights for said-parody, then yes it can still be called a parody.Bussani wrote:

Goku's gi or the "Super Suit" reads;We are not really sure what the power level of this hair is. It is probably a lot.
Be ready for the World Martial Arts Tournament in this bright orange super suit.
I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. Weird Al gets permission from artists merely as a formality, he has no legal reason to do so.Gonstead wrote:If your not making a profit off from it or have obtained the rights for said-parody, then yes it can still be called a parody.
Actually he does need to. His parodies are still covered under producing a cover of an already existing song, especially if he's making money off of them.AgitoZ wrote:I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.

Having been in the business for so many years with so many artists, companies, and lawyers involved, I trust the guy's word beyond my own understanding of the law.Weird Al wrote:My parodies have always fallen under what the courts call “fair use,” and this one was no different, legally allowing me to record and release it without permission. But it has always been my personal policy to get the consent of the original artist before including my parodies on any album, so of course I will respect Gaga’s wishes. However, given the circumstances, I have no problem with allowing people to hear it online, because I also have a personal policy not to completely waste my stinking time.

You say that but these people make money off of other people's work. They should've been shut down when they started Pocky Ninja which was blatantly Naruto... One Piece also was ripped off by them in another game. Wish I could make money off of stealing.Codarik wrote:Yeah it is, it's really nice seeing homages in stuff here and there. Just shows how popular the series is.
