I mostly just reply to stuff with piss-takes —frequently a fool. He/Him, all opinions expressed are quite possibly poorly thought out.

Yeah, to me they just look like a kinda cartoony diagram of all the ways trucks no longer look like proper trucks. Not great but also not an affront to the eyes.

You don’t need his consent, there’s a number of years after creation of a work of art and/or the death of the creator which makes creative works the property of humanity, it’s a neat system.

So make something and apply that copyleft to what you make!
You get to do that for what you make, not for what others make.

In a perfect world we’d have public property and personal property, but until then private property and consent over private property is the best protection and right to life people who make things that are made up of ideas have.

It’s interesting that you think that sex is the only time that consent matters, but it also matters with any sort of contract or deal, etc.
Power imbalances can abuse consent (hence why minimum wage and OSHA), but also consent matters in general.
None of us are autonomous if consent isn’t there.

I can absolutely imagine something different.
BUT!
In the meantime you’re stealing from artists in a world where their copyright rights are the only thing that protect them.
“It would work different because tech” is just the fintech/let’s get rid of workers right dream in a nutshell.

TMNT is a bit dicier and After the Bomb even more so, but only because of who worked for how much on what and I only ever wrote a letter to Eric.

You *do* have consent from Eric Wujcik to pirate and seed Paladium stuff he worked on, fwiw. There’s a “because there’s no way in hell we’ll ever be able to do a reprint” rider, but under current circumstances yes it’s cool if you seed the Amber Diceless torrent from Demonoid.

So, you should be able to make choices for others based on what you personally think is good for them?
Some artists have said you can take their stuff. The Stardew Valley peeps seeded for their game and added “how to port saves” instructions if ppl decided to buy
But that’s consent, not a default

On the one hand people I know have photocopied every page of the D&D 3.5 books so very many times so part of me wants to allow for time place and manner exceptions, but this dude is making me feel like “okay but like *Hasboro*” as an exception taught some ppl the wrong lesson.
