I’m just surprised the final zoom in was over Mai’s shoulder rather than into the middle of her cleavage.

How is it cringey?

That’s not the fair use standard.

“indeed, the outfit he’s wearing in the screenshots above appears to be the same one, only now with Adidas sneakers”

There was a stripped down, fanmade version of it that was playable on TI-83s back in the day. I recall friends sharing it with each other in 1999 or so.

Costumes exist in this weird little legal bubble where they’re not protected but individual elements of them might be (I think clothes are generally unprotected but masks and props are). That’s how the off brand costumes with a generic enough look get by.

I would argue the difference between that and the EA suit would be over whether the tattoo contains third party IP. For instance, wrestler CM Punk has a very prominent Pepsi logo tattoo on his shoulder. Whenever he appeared in WWE games, they would remove that logo since including it may infringe on the IP rights of a…

There were a couple of trophies in the base game that were bugged too - didn’t always trigger.

Probably assuming SoCal since one of the tags is 710 and just assumed it’s interstate 710.

However, presidential electors in each state can vote for whoever they want

Bubble Bobble for another retro representation.

Matthew Fox and Johnny Lee Miller might have obtained a transfer of copyright ownership from the tattoo artist(s).

You’d have to argue it somehow fits under a work for hire (which is more limited than you would think given that term) OR the agreement between you and the freelancer included a copyright ownership transfer.

It’s going to a jury. Summary judgment was denied. That means it won’t be “shot down.” The tattoo artist might lose, but it’s not something that will just be shot down, at least not at this stage of the proceedings yet. An appellate court might later overrule the jury (or affirm a finding of no liability if in Take…

Geez. I’m surprised that system is allowed to exist. A sorta similar system used to be employed in Georgia, the County Unit system. It was held unconstitutional by SCOTUS in 1963.

That’s throwing good money after bad at this point. Money should go to Espy, Harrison, Bullock, Warnock, Ossoff, Theresa Greenfield. Heck Hegar in TX and Bollier in Kansas are better right now. Even Kelly and Gideon, despite having large leads over their GOP incumbents, are better money to help ensure those switch.…

Espy is Mississippi, but yes.

I think this comes under trademark fair use laws, not copyright fair use. And from what little I remember of the difference, I think trademark fair use is much more limited. IIRC, it mostly comes down to using a trademark to reference the source of the goods - such as the Pepsi ads which had a taste challenge between…

N64 had two launch titles in America. No matter how good Mario 64 or Pilotwings were (never played the latter), that just doesn’t make for a good launch lineup.

The Dems have literally zero power to stop it. Zero. All they can do is (rightfully) rage and make a case to the public. But in terms of any parliamentary powers they have, that answer is zero.
