This is territory they're going to regret going treading on.
Why does she look like a cross between a cheap/off the shelf drag queen and a tranny sex doll?
I thought it was Jill Biden.
That's what he said.
typing this not having touched the video yet, do they want the copyright rights?
No, but Marvel is basically wanting to ensure that they don't come for them later. It's not a lawsuit exactly, the video title is somewhat clickbait.
ok this is something that margaret weis and tracy hickman threatened wizard of the coast backs when the woke tried to stall their books. also my first thread on Kia2.win
basically, when they made the contract with the company without knowing better they signed and gave the copyright of all their creations to the company they worked for.
but the law says that the company can claim the copyright of the creations only if this contract is made with effective employees, if the same contract is made with de facto, not employers but freelancers then the freelancers get to hold the copyright of their creations 20 years later.
marvel start in disvantage
At this point, if Ditko or Stan Lee's estate could get any characters way from Marvel comics, that would be awesome. Marvel comics have mostly sucked for around 10 years at this point, the characters license in someone's hands couldn't be any worse.
