Also, do you really want a world where big film studios can just adapt books of writers without compensating them? | |
| ▲ | syspec an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Surprised to see this level of discourse here on HN, reads like a reddit comment. Copyright sucks, and Disney is bad etc, but how is using StarCraft and its assets in your random AI game okay? I mean, creators should be allowed to exert control over how their assets and brand are used. | | |
| ▲ | nilamo an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | I've always found that defending laws that don't benefit people to be a stange attitude on a place called "hacker news". Creative people should be able to create. Trademark/copyright laws, protecting assets for the great-grandchildren of who actually created the art, has never been a positive. The only people who benefit, are themselves not creative (or else they would create, instead of defending "rights" and "image"). | |

How is it not ok? What is the issue exactly? From what I can tell it's totally free, and has an indication it is a fan game on the bottom of the screen. | |

| ▲ | Supermancho an hour ago | parent [-] | | The number of conglomerates has, unsurprisingly, continued to shrink. It's long overdue for a rethink. Maybe if the US political system ever stabilizes, we might get to it in a hundred years. Until then Copyright sucks and Disney is bad. |

| ▲ | sharkjacobs an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | > creators should be allowed to exert control over how their assets and brand are used I hate to be glib, but no they shouldn't. Creators should be allowed to create things and sell them. No one, whether the creator, or the company the creator worked for when they first created the thing, should be able to stop someone else from creating something. |
