I took it that the English colonized India closer to the way they colonized the Americas, leading to a much more “angelicized” India, and changing the name of Mumbai to a more English sounding city.

I’m confused....wasn’t Unicron already unmasked as Earth in ....whatever the last film was.  The last Knight?  Age of Extinction?  Wacky Racers....God why is everything in this franchise utterly forgetable.

Because he a scientist, and scientists are NEEEEERDS....

Some executive somewhere.

Trukk, not monky.

Given how Disney+ has been loosing subscribers...ARE they leaving money on the table if they don’t do these shows?

Beowulf?

The Abyss (Directors Cut) and T2 were both excellent films.  But starting with Titanic...Cameron’s films just feel...”meh”.

Is Costner’s character a white savior? Because Costner’s character did absolutely nothing to save the Dakota, whereas Worthington completely single-handedly whooped the invaders ass and sent them packing.

Counterpoint: No.

As a professional photographer for the last 20 years, black and white photography and cinematography is more then just removing color from a shot. You need to approach black and white from the standpoint of SHOOTING in black and white, considering tonal differences between shadow and light. Every shot…

Rhino people? I’ve always considered them Space Guinea Pigs.

I’d be amazed if Nintendo doesn’t spike this before officially opening.

That would really limit their license, and its’ probibly not an issue of “protecting their brand” as much as if they don’t attempt to protect their copyrights, they stand the possibility of losing them. I don’t know what japanese law is concerning copyright, but in the United States, if you do not defend your…

More likely it was that cosplay was pretty under the radar, and those that were cosplaying were doing so on a limited basis.  Now that cosplay is entering into the general populus there’s a need by copyright holders to protect their IP, otherwise they could lose out on licensing fees.

The money goes to the IP holder, weither that’s a corporation or an individual is kind of a mute point. The vast swath of the 20th century most mass market creative works were works for hire, that is, a company hired indivudals to create works for them and held the intellectual property rights of that work. Things…

According to the US courts, whether or not you make money is irrelevant. The copyright holder has a right to protect their character regardless if the person who is infringing on the copyright is making any money from the infringement.

Althought, I’m sure it would help an IP holder less likely to forgive the…

Mostly correct. Where you may run into issues is if you have some very specific expressions of that character. For instance, dressing someone in a green tunic and hat and giving them a sword and shield is probibly distance enough from the character.

HOWEVER, dressing someone in a game accurate costume from “Breath of…

It depends...some of those may be covered by parody, which in the United States at least, would provide them some aspect of protection from copyright infringement.

Copyright suits follow the infringer.  Whomever owns the copyright on the infringing work would be the target of the suit.  If the photographer owns the rights (which is the default in the United States), they would most likely be the target.  However there are certain work for hire and contractuallly released…

Weither you are a professional or not doesn’t determine weither it’s copyright infringement. There’s no distinction with US Copyright law regarding how the photo was made. And this is a huge hazy area.

Here are the general rules.

1. The Supreme court has found that the first ammendment covers photography. Anything…

Pics or it didn’t happen.

Because I’m absolutly certian it’s happened, and I feel you just don’t want to share your stash.
