A24 has announced they’re making a SCP movie but SCP Wiki says they can’t do that because they don’t own the rights.
So now SCP Wiki has announced they’re making a movie with NEON.
But how does anyone own the rights to a fan group project?
>Neon’s announcement comes after the SCP Wiki team denounced a film from A24, Spooky Pictures and Image Nation shortly after it was unveiled. After the A24 film was announced, the SCP team wrote in a statement, “We have not had any communication with the filmmakers, producers, or distributors for this project, despite our best efforts, and to the best of our knowledge they have not made any efforts to contact us. Furthermore, A24 does not and cannot have any exclusive rights to anything related to the SCP Foundation, including any films that Spooky Pictures or anyone else may choose to create.”
>>
Literally everyone I see arguing about this is very autistic, with a furry avatar and a Mental Illness flag on their bio. No actual human being should give a shit. Imagine trying to explain any part of this to a person in the real world who isn't terminally online.

Nobody owns the rights, so anyone can make one. Thats how it works
>>
Something about a creative commons license that the wiki falls under? Idk about licenses and stuff like that. Ive read pretty much all the scp articles and proposals since 2006 and skipping ones that are painfully self insert ocs. And maybe like a couple hundred are any good. Mostly the stuff having to with GOIs. Whatever movie they are going to make is just going to be about the big popular skips that everyone and their mother has either made a YouTube video about or a game.
>>
no one owns the rights.
a24 wants to make the next backrooms hit so scp is the best choice.
scp wiki is just pissed because they can’t do shit about it

yes
>>
>>748828457
As far as I understand the wikifags' point is that their license is such that the articles can't be used in a for-profit manner. Backrooms worked out because Kane used his own story and used nothing from a preexisting story repository with preexisting licenses.
>>
>>748828974
Doesn't the CC license require that any derivative work also be released under CC?

I don't think you can have the rights to that.

We call that the government
>>
>>748828457
SCP wiki doesn't own the rights either. 4chan's /x/ board is the original community then troons and furries stole it and declared they were the owners.
>>
>>748828457
They will base it on the original creepypasta and then send a C&D to the scp foundation for violating their copyright.
>>
>>748828457
If A24 were based they'd use Wayback to use the old wiki before faggots drove out the original writers.
>>
>>748828457
I'm a massive fan of SCP. I will not be watching it. Hollywood makes my blood boil. I'll watch full length AI movies on youtube before I touch anything from A24. That's a promise.

>>748828457
Website based upon stolen ideas is upset that someone is makiny a movie based upon their stolen ideas?

>>748828457
i mean with what scp became i would do the same. No autistic furry scp's and No "this item can destroy the world and actually we dont control it lol" scp's.
>>
>>748829115
Yes, I think so. That would mean that the concepts / characters created for the SCP movie would be freely reusable by anyone else. It’s a pretty bold move if that's what A24 wants to do.

The simplest way to get around it as I understand it is to just remove all ties to the original property by simply changing the names, which is what the editors of There Is No Antimemetic Division, which was originally published on the SCP website asked the author to do.
>>
>>748829056
Control was a better SCP game than any of the actual SCP games
>>
>>748828457
It's explicitly Creative Commons.
Which means nobody owns the rights. But nobody can copyright any part of it either.
The A24 film is getting into trouble because they have not layed out how they are going to preserve Creative Commons while still making a film. It is entirely possible to do this, but A24 doesn't want to, obviously, because then they technically don't own the rights to the film's content either.

Basically CC means they can make the film. Make money from it. And ever sue for piracy still. But they can't sue you if you edit or use the film, it's script or clips of it for another project.
>>
>>748829331
yep.

Whedon already did it.

>It's explicitly Creative Commons.

how were they able to do that with backrooms then?
>>
>>748828457
As it turns out, writing some gay tranny OC for a community horror website doesn't mean that you own anything in a movie that happens to be themed after the same website but uses none of your OC.
Sorry.
You're going to have to get funds for your bathtub estrogen the regular way: a job.

It's funny, because shit like that ruined a lot of the original SCPs when it became too popular and the wiki started getting C&D and takedown notices.

Which is exactly what we would do.

They should fuck off an make something else. Nobody wants an SCP film from A24. I was only cool with Evan Royalty's work because he was shitposting on the old internet like the rest of us. He knows shit. But A24? They don't know shit.

This. The only other perso who would be able to make a claim would be the anon that wrote the original Backrooms post and as it’s nearly impossible to actually prove they’re pretty safe.
>>
>>748829456
Backrooms is an unowned creepypasta
Creative Commons is an actual legal framework you agree to when publishing anything on the SCP wiki.
>>
>>748829456
Backrooms wasn't CC, it was a 4chan post with no known author
theoretically its copyright still sits with whoever made that post 10 years ago, but there's no way of actually verifying that claim so it's in-effect public domain
>>
>>748829650
Very valid point anon, nailed it.
>>
>>748828457
Do you think the anon who invented the backrooms roped after everybody and their mom made millions copying his idea that he posted for free?

It will be funny when A24 put out a movie of equal quality to backrooms and all the online 12 year old enbys who gave backrooms 5 starts give the SCP movie 1 star for being "soooo bad"

There are people who already know they'll be calling the NEON scp film a masterpiece and the A24 film a travesty no matter how the films come out, because their autism and online cliques turn them into drones.

Technically any copyright that exists would be in the bare words of the post. You can't have copyright in an idea or concept.
Similarly, any copyright on SCP is limited to the bare words of the Wiki. You can take the concepts of those creatures and visualise them however you want so long as you're not copying the text.
>>
>>748829903
SCP as a film would be retarded anyway. its perfect for a twilight zone-like tv series, but as a movie they would have to cram in alot of shit
>>
>>748830008
They are probably going to do something like Site-19. I'm getting bad vibes from this project and something stupid like that is totally Hollywood.
>>
Aren't all of SCP's works basically public domain? My understanding is that none of it is under copyright or trademarked, especially since some of them use images they don't own.
It's all one giant meme, much like the Backrooms.
>>
>>748829945
with the backrooms some guy made fanfiction of the 4chan post, then a24 got the fanfiction guy. SCP was already stolen by the wiki claiming doesn't count to 'stealing' so A24 would be technically stealing from thieves

Entirely depends on the timeline/series.

Can a hyperautistic tranny explain to me why their "people" are so worked up about the copyright status of SCP after spending a year flicking their wounds to the 3/10 backrooms movie? They didn't have "permission" to make that either. What's the difference? And is there any sane sounding reason why anyone should care, and be mad about this, but NOT mad about backrooms?

Well in that one case they probably wouldn’t risk it since this is tied to a tripcode which means there is potentially a real person who could prove they have written this post. And even then, that’s just 173, it can hardly carry a movie all on its own.

Much like 40K it's pretty much a community project with dedicated autists writing about it.
If anything SCP is better because it's not owned by a shitty corp.

Lovecraft was only known because of a small literature cult that exposed and pushed his work and Stephen King was only known due to being a nepobaby.

Stephen King isn't even good.

This.

Let me make it very clear to anyone who is still confused: This "controversy" is literally nothing more than a talking point for terminally online losers who want something to talk about. In their hearts they don't even care either. But it's something to latch onto. If a single one of these people had lives, or actual problems to deal with, they would not give a shit. It's for losers to chirp about on blusky and discord and nothing more.

But in all seriousness, it's crazy how, for the past 10 years, the thesis statement of this "new guard" of SCP is that "THE FOUNDATION IS EEEVIL". Even though the entire premise of the setting is moral ambiguity and necessary evil. It's exactly how 40k secondaries think the Imperium are "the bad guys", as if they're the big bad fascists oppressing LITERAL DEMONS who dindu nuffin

It's also suffering from the same issue that plagues comic books, where the universe becomes too bloated and complex, with too many references, crossovers, callbacks, fan favorites and OP characters. It's almost impossible to make sense of anything since it requires tons of research and opening links to understand what's going on. Antimemetics Division and Oneiroi Collective do a decent job of threading the needle between having an original story while still referencingother aspects of the SCP universe. But at this point now would be when Marvel or DC would say fuck it and reboot everything.
