So if a band does a live cover they can get in trouble?

This is true in the US too. The Happy Birthday song was a common target. (I think)

I don't even mean releasing it as a recording. You have to pay to see a concert so if you perform someone else's song, with the way it's worded, it sounds like you could get in trouble.

 No.20913

US has it tougher, any sort of performance or publication of a cover song would be copyright infringement. But almost no one would actually enforce this. Even on youtube, where it's easy to strike a video down, the most they'll likely do is just take the ad revenue or something.

 No.20914

You say that like those examples aren't a flagrant abuse of a system that is inherently unethical simply because they aren't 100% transgressive.

 No.20915

>>20914
uhh, okay????

(what a nerdo…)

 No.20916

>>20915
Y-you're a nerdo!!!

 No.20921

>>20911
Yeah that's what I'm saying too. You need to get rights to perform copyrighted songs, I think.

 No.20969

How is it not copyright infringement when an artist draws a character of a franchise owned by a certain person or company? I'm dumb

 No.20970

>>20969
It is.

 No.20971


 No.20972

>>20970
Then why isnt there a major police crackdown with tear gas and riot troops and everything every Comiket?

 No.20973

What I mean is why don't they just arrest artists and doujin circles if they're technically copyright infringers and therefore performers of illegal activities. Or at least apprehend the material. If copyright applies to fictional characters then how come I can buy doujin about basically everything in broad daylight? It doesn't make sense.

 No.20987

>>20972
>>20973
Because nobody cares or wants to. It's too popular, too profitable, and too accepted by the general public and is therefore de facto legal. If it were to be enforced it would need to be pushed by the companies that own the characters, which they all know would be a PR nightmare.

 No.20992

>>20973
I think it actually counts as satire. Also it does not actually cause the author any harm but could actually benefit them by getting people more interested in it, just imagine what Touhou would be like without doujins and such.

 No.21006

>I think it actually counts as satire
Japan doesn't have the same fair use laws as the US. The Japanese version of Wikipedia has far fewer images than any other because of this.
