>>39933124I think there should be protection for IPs that the company is still using and making money off of. Let's just use Disney as an example because they are the ones who have fucked over copyright the most.
Moana should be protected and people should not be making money off of it. Disney has every-right to pull unofficial Moana merch and shut down for-profit fan works. Of course this doesn't count free fanart, fanfiction, or any other fan projects that are being done for fun.
Something like Black Cauldron on the other hand should be fair for the taking because Disney has done absolutely nothing for it in over 20 years beside put it out there and occasionally "take it out of the vault." I'm conflicted on stuff like The Disney Princesses where many are older, but are still being used. In my opinion 50+ years sounds like an awful lot of time for protection, but if they are still actively using them and haven't stopped perhaps their should be exceptions.
What ever the case punishing stuff like emulation and fanworks for stuff that the company doesn't ever bother to use anymore is a joke. However the if the game in the OP or the one with the good animation use in-game-transactions or are for-profit Gamefreak does have the right to shut them down in my eyes.
The IP is still being used and even if China doesn't give a shit about the laws they are still in the wrong.
