You're on to something, but you haven't taken this to the final conclusion. We have a problem and it's a problem of socialization. Men are perfectly capable of not acting like this, but yet it's still prevalent. There's no surprise, just one very deep sigh.

The point is men shouldn't be doing this to begin with, and no one should be condoning this just by ignoring it. You're basically saying, "Yeah these guys are jerks but you should just not do that thing you enjoy doing because guys can't help it."

But if they're spending all of their money on wine... ;p

Well I'd say Rush doesn't count as a news organization that's blindly trusted by millions of people so that's why I went with Fox (for the parallel). I'm pretty damn liberal but I'd say Micheal Moore is definitely the liberal counterpart to Rush. Not nearly as hateful by a long shot but still...

Maybe... but I think it could be easily argued that context supersedes that. They would have to be using more than the likeness of a character. The owner of the IP would have to make a strong case proving that their use of those photos either damages the IP or prove that there was some intent to mislead consumers into…

I only accept this as being an appropriate proposal if she's wife no. 131. I mean no one chooses just one... even Ash has a few on the side.

You had me with hello. ;)

Yes that answers it perfectly, thank you!

I agree with you completely with regards to Pacific Rim, hated Transformers because it didn't need any of the human elements that were poorly written and shoe horned in, but with regards to Metroid I may disagree. I can tell you that I don't want a Metroid movie to be anything like Other M but that's because it was so…

I haven't, but I'll check that out. Thanks! :)

I have no problem with that plot.

I'd like to introduce you to Fox News, I think you'll find your answer there.

I kind of thought Ross was for all intent and purpose a walking PSA with: "Don't be like this guy, no really," flashing in neon over his head.

Okay wait, so this is a 4X strategy game, but it's played in real time not turn based? I just read that in a comment but I can't seem to find that information here or on the wiki page.

Though I think they may be on to something about American foreign policy, I have a hard time seeing the connection between that and Pacific Rim. Are we sure he didn't watch Team America and confuse it with Pacific Rim?

That depends on the space. If the photos are taken inside the convention center that is not a public space, it's privately owned. Technically you could stand outside a convention center and take photos and never even require permission from the people standing in line. That's how all of those scum fuck paparazzi…

No it's considered fair use. The subject of the photo isn't the character being displayed, it's the person in the photo. Now if a cosplayer wants to get payed to show up as Batman at birthday parties and comic shop openings, that may be a different matter.

With regards to photographs the subject of that photo has no legal rights beyond granting or denying the photographer permission unless the subject enters into an agreement with the photographer. Once permission is granted it's the photographer who owns exclusive rights to the use of the said photo.

I do too actually.

They aren't crossed, it's just the angle of the original photo.
