>$220,000,000>created on lore, textures, pictures that everyone thinks is "public domain"are they preparing for an avalanche of lawsuits?
and what is exactly copywritten?
>>221019160The color yellow, I made dat sheeit
non cam torrent when
>>221019160Muh idea nigga I posted dat muhfuggin backroom
>>221019160Well, if the original schizo on /x/ can prove he made the post he automatically has the copy right for it
hiroshimoot is suing no doubt
Why are people on here so eager to defend this and Obsession? Parasocial attachment to the directors?
>>221019057creepy pasta is public domain. the slender man movie proved it. Internet memes aren't owned ip
>>221019160That's not what copywritten means, imbecile. Copyright protected is what you meant:>U.S. copyright law protects original works of authorship—such as literature, music, art, and software—the moment they are fixed in a tangible medium. Governed by the Copyright Act of 1976 (Title 17 of the U.S. Code), it provides creators with exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform, display, and adapt their work.
>>221019288I’m not a fancy big city lawyer, but I don’t think that’s how it works.
>>221019288the original slender man poster is logged in the something awful forum archive. doesn't mean shit
>>221019300i watched neither but I assume people are tired of hollywood slop and anything that deviates from the usual IP demakes is seen as a breath of fresh aireven if those movies where on the level of the room, their existence would be a positive thing, and I doubt they are as bad as many detractors are making them out to bei'm sure they are not groundbreaking either though
>>221019300>defendagainst what, whos attacking them?
>>221019300Backrooms maybe, but I’m not sure how many people immediately recognize Obsession’s director as a YouTube guy.
>>221019057>helvetica for the poster>protag is a failed architect>sells furniture>girl protag's mother was agoraphobic and her house was demolishedthey're names are probably anagrams for something retarded related to that, these people are such hacks is embarrassing
>>221019288Even if he could, he probably would not have the money to risk arguing it in court. I know fuckall about copyright law when it comes to stuff like an internet post, but at the end of the day, somebody would have to take legal action for anything to come of it, which is why big corporations generally do not give a shit about whether or not some random nobody has the copyright to something.
>>221019160House of Leaves writer could easily sue them for plagiarism.
>>221019475The general concept goes back way further than that.
If you want to see what happens when a company uses some nobody's work without credit for profit, see herehttps://youtu.be/ylKLIjlDEi8
>>221019382Okay, anon. How would you have done it?
that cover looks like she's getting fucked by a black man
>>221019288He didn't the original picture was from some furniture store renovation in 2003. So the copyright in truth belongs to the furniture store owner in Oklahoma.
>>221019057Who's gonna sue them?
>>221019475House of Leaves writer needs to learn how to fucking write before he can send a complaint.
>>221019288No. That's not how it works.He didn't make anything original or anything that could actually be copyrighted.Chord progressions for music cannot be copyrighted.A single paragraph ripping off multiple different projects isn't original. IF they made a book, screenplay, animated series/movie.Then they'd have a case.but they basically made something as "original"as someone writing a paragraph of a "chosen one" story as the main character.this isn't even the first backrooms movie.There's another terrible backrooms movie on Tubi kekLet alone all the video games.
>>221019288NFT's didn't catch on, this ain't gonna' fly
>>221019057The only thing they own would be the specific monster designs, literally more protected than anyone who makes a Mummy or Dracula movie.
>>221019057Have they tried not walking in the backrooms
