It is a pretty blatant copyright infringement. No one would be allowed to copy South Park by hand either.
I mean, you obviously couldn't use their characters, but what if you used the art style to make "Parody Park" or something with all original characters?
Should be fine I suppose. But OpenAI is still not going to let people use Sora to easily and quickly create South Park parodies that go against the narrative.
You probably could. Then again with the amount you spend on the AI subscription you could get a $50 Point and shoot and a large stack of construction paper from wally world and make as many episodes you wanted.
If you don't sell it, you can absolutely make a South Park animation as fair use. You'd have to be clear that it's fan-made.
I think that's right. I'm not sure, actually.
Wouldn't be so sure of that. Copyright law is pretty fucked. Nintendo regularly shuts down fan projects. Games Workshop likes to do it too. Disney was extremely protective of Mickey until the copyright ran out.
Those are people who back down when given a cease and desist. But perhaps you're right. I dunno.
I mean even if it isn't technically illegal but if you have to be very wealthy to be able to fight against i it pretty much is illegal.
As long as it is possible to drag out lawsuits to financially bleed out your opponent it doesn't really matter what the law actually says or intends.
The DMCA abuse problem on Youtube is the best example for that. What happens is blatantly against the law (fair use) but they're able to keep on doing it because nothing ever happens.
