How does having a license with someone invalidate everyone else's fair-use rights?
IANAL. Pure hypothetical guess is that it might constitute a higher degree of ownership of the rights for the ability to transform said characters. Idk though, copyright law is some spooky shit. IBM literally had my dad put his name on an attempt to patent the concept of having something move in an oval to reduce stress. It stood until it was challenged in court and he knew it was bullshit but they paid him so he did it anyway betting on it failing. But like imagine trying to patent physics concepts.
Fuck if I know but it apparently strengthens their case
Then where did you read this? What were the cases that got filed?
Ok I thought this was a philosophical question at first, I see now that it is not, but I want to respond as if it were by suggesting the book Against Intellectual Monopoly which, ironically or not, costs $36.99 in digital form (Anna has it).
