Doesn't matter if thats what this is about or not, its true. I'm not making another thread just to say that.

But then we are hopelessly derailing topics. That's no good.

neither vince nor deer have said that he should stop using it

so what you're saying isn't even applicable

Time for you guys to hate me even more. I'm going to be a loving nerd here.

Our characters are copyrighted. They have names and have money paid for them. The Characters belong to us. Alex is mine and Vinny is (obviously) owner by Vinny.
Legal issues could be inflicted in here. It's the same as selling someones art on a T-shirt on RB without getting permission from the artist, it's not legal.

Now in the end we are talking about just an avatar and he is just doing it to mess with him, but I just wanted to finish this discussion actually. We're obviously not going to get the kid in trouble because why would we. It's an internet forum. That's like punching a toddler in a McDonalds playground.

I mean that he is complaining about it.

this is as ridiculous as the "infriged copyright of a dog" incident

[Night Fox]

not how copyright works
if I want to print off a picture of someone's art and hang it on my door, I can do that, and nobody can tell me that I can't
he's not claiming it's his, and he's not making any money off of it

That is someone else is selling someones art without permission.

It's like grabbing the Mona Lisa and selling it somewhere else.

It's the same way how for example Sonic is copyrighted.

sorry, but no, it's not like that at all

[Toothed_Deer]

sorry, but yes, it's like that at all

I'm just going to say the opposite until you actual get sources.

Its not copyright unless
A) The artist put a copyright on it.
and
B) He sold it and said it was his.

I literally said that our characters have both of these things in

just like how it's not illegal for me to use this avatar, or for someone to use an avatar from TF2

[Alyx Vance]

Alright, are they LEGALLY copyrighted as in they have legal papers on the picture. Just because your name is on something doesn't mean its yours/whoevers.

Also he never said it was his nor did he sell it.
