Did I do something I should not have done?


Website Feedback


I created this Avatar to try and make a funny post in a Mythic Evil Lincoln thread, and now it occurs to me that I probably should not have. Being that it is probably a copyright infringement of one kind or another. Is it possible to delete this Avatar?

No, but given that you've only made 3 posts, you can change everything about it, including it's name.


Good idea thanks LazarX!


How is it a copyright infringement?

Yeah, I don't think you were in any trouble. :)


Bazinga!


The original name of this Alias was Mirror Universe Spock, which I am pretty sure is a copyrighted character, so to be safe I changed it, whereas Evil Sheldon could be any body named Sheldon, and not Sheldon Cooper, which even then is ambiguous as there are many Sheldon Coopers I'm sure, but Spock is pretty specific.

Considering how many people here have aliases of various book, movie, comic, or video game characters, I doubt you're in any legal danger. You're not making any money off the use of the character, you're not making any claims to character ownership or representation of the creator.

Also they can't sue you if you've ascended Mythically, so i've heard, from this bird that looked familiar somehow if it weren't for his peculiar mustache.....

I thought it was an impressive/appropriate use of that avatar, myself.

You're good! But if you want to change it before the 10 post mark, you can do that by editing the alias on your My Account page :)

Okay, so, since the consensus seems to be that I was okay to begin with I changed it back, but if Disney sues me ('cause on April first they bought Star Trek from Paramount) I'll be very sad, well, not really sad as that would be illogical.


Wait

Wait

Wait

Disney now owns BOTH Star Wars and Star Trek?!

Dark Archive

Is this a sign of the apocalypse? Again? Where's that bloody book?!


Or is this a belated April Fools gag?

Liberty's Edge

Just wait 'till I tell Buzz about this!


If you go to DeviantArt there was a great April Fools article on the acquisition of the Star Trek franchise by Disney, a funny interview with an "insider" and some things on the horizon that cracked me up, well didn't really crack me up, because that would be illogical,

That figures. I am not a fan of April Fool's. -_-


I say, if ye're gonna shank Star Trek and steal its IP, shank Star Trek and steal its IP BOLDLY! Don't be meek or pussyfoot around about it! So sayeth the most professional IP Burglar!

May you live wrong and perspire!


You know when we're really screwed is if Disney ever buys Starbucks

I'd be more concerned if they bought out Walmart.

That's because there's a world of difference between pranks and lies. So many web sites just make some simple fake stories or blog posts or even single sentences that are just... incorrect. And they think that's funny.

Sorry, no. Something epic where you convince a large number of people that Mars is invading, like with War of the Worlds, that's a funny prank (assuming nobody gets hurt, of course).

I'm sure it's fine. Definitely no traps here.

^ A TRAP!!


Hopefully, I say, hopefully Disney won't be goin' after my Ken-Tucky fried chicken!


Hands off my Dilly Bars!


Suddenly, I want ice cream...hmmm <takes notes>


YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR!!!!!

Uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

Eh. I just don't find pranks funny, just annoying.

Getting off-topic a bit, but likely harmless and I'm curious. Really? For instance, when a group of engineering students manage to get their hands on a (beater) car, drill a hole vertically through it, get it in front of a public building of some sort, detach a flagpole from the ground, run it through the car and re-bolt it to the ground... without anyone seeing any of this... that's not kind of funny/amazing to you?

Pranks done right aren't harmful and shouldn't be annoying. Toilet paper around someone's car isn't a prank... it's just making a mess. Burning bags of poop on the doorstep isn't a prank... it's rude. But something like the entire premise behind Candid Camera (dating myself here)... that's sort of epic, no?

I never understood what was supposed to be amusing about it, no. I just find it weird and sympathetically frustrating if it doesn't affect me, and personally frustrating and annoying if it does.

Okay, thanks for the clarification. Not much to say, but appreciate the interesting feedback.


I don't see what the problem with making an entire avatar for the Mythic Evil Lincoln thread is...

...except perhaps that he isn't posting as often, lately, making me waste a perfectly great joke alias.
