If the Dragon Ball franchise went public domain tomorrow.

If you don't know what public domain is; here is a link for you guys: http://www.unc.edu/~unclng/public-d.htm. Anyway, what would happen if Dragon Ball went public domain (obviously it won't be happening for a VERY long time) tomorrow? What would you do now if the license was free to the public? A Christmas Carol is a good example of people making numerous amounts of media for a story that has been in public domain for years. Feel free to think of ideas! [NOTE: I'm not freely advocating anyone to break copyright law. This is an impossible what-if and only that.]

I can picture a dozen horrible SyFy movies.

Hell would freeze over.

We would have a million Dragon Ball AF shows with SSj9000 Goku blowing up the reality with his fingers.

[KentalSSJ6]

Some good may come out of it though depending on who does what. I'm sure if it went to say..the Kanzenshuu fanbase, the franchise could be better than ever before.

[Fennekin]

Not to throw a wrench into the speculation process, but doesn't this only apply to work in the United States? I'm pretty sure this doesn't apply to products in other countries like Japan. Is this applied all around the world or just the United States?

[Hellspawn28]

DB going to public domain now would be awful. Every AF releated fan fiction would come to life and we would have to deal that SSj110234042420243 now is official.

*Ahem* Hell would Freeza over .

Touche. Anyway it would be either very good or very very very very very (I could go on all day) bad. Depends on who got their hands on it. Id love to see a animated Toyble and Young Jijii AF series, but when we venture into territory such as Absalon..yeah I think the statement stands for itself.

I would be able to try to sell fanart or doujinshi.

Yes, please.

Queue a bunch of low budget, carelessly made works based on Funimation's portrayal of the characters. You would undoubtedly see a live action 'hope of the universe' speech and hear the collective agonising screams of fans around the world as the lines were delivered.

Hopefully the DBNA animation will be the vanguard of a hopeful future for fan series in terms of voice acting. I mean we already got Masako doing Goku.

Isn't that the fan animation that just traced over elements from the movies and Ultimate Tenkaichi's cutscenes?

He was testing something.

On Topic: Prepare yourself for a SSJ895688934898989895 and for fans using the Funimation dub as a source

Look up the fanon wikis and see for yourself the potential Armageddon that would befall the DB franchise.

^ Such as Broly and Goku fusion. WHAT THE FUCK? "Broly put his hatred aside and fused with Broly". How about all the potara fusions.

Majin Shenron

Majin Porunga

Legendary Super Saiyan X

Majin Goten

Trunks has later shown the ability to reach Legendary Super Saiyan as well,

This is why...I hate a lot of post GT fanfics

[KentalSSJ6]

Yeah and check this out. When scrolling through pages this is what popped up.

Warning:
Everytime this form is vandalized, it gets 100 infinities stronger. Also when you vandalize it, you automatically lose because you know its stronger than anything. Stay Mad.

So yeah its blatantly clear they dont give a single flying f*ck about respecting the series let alone the art they shamelessly steal to use as their own.
