When people tell you, repeatedly, your entire continent was a mistake, and you constantly ignore it, this is what happens

Sid Meier is gonna sue you, enjoy your article 13.

do you actually believe the word 'civilization' is copyrighted

oh who am i kidding you believe activision is evil for cease and desisting some starfishs who were intentionally stealing their purple dragon's names and likenesses. of course you're going to hate this bill because giving content creators any ounce of power over their intellectual property is apparently communism

I am divided by this. On one hand people who exceed in using copyrighted materials and have made a living off of using those copyrighted materials in a creative new manner, however, this law quickly further divides people who create original ideas from those who take materials from others. This forces the truly gifted to put their brains into motion into creating original content, and for those who do not have the will that creative insight will be forced to find their living elsewhere.
