"Copyright" is a rallying call used by butthurt fags. After the raep the victim of copyright infringement will call foul and sue the bad people who stole their work and made them look bad. Usually used in the event that raiders have made parody artwork of THEIR characters, but can be used as a convenient catch all when you're feeling butthurt.

It's especially lulzy when people who claim copyright infringement make a living drawing and writing Sonic/Final Fantasy/Harry Potter fanart and fanfiction.

When a butthurt fag cries "copyright infringement" remind them that they almost certainly wouldn't make an IRL court claim over their drawing of two crocodiles yiffing.

IRL

Your icons are PWNED!

According to U.S. Law, you can neatly sidestep copyright by claiming "fair use":

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

List of things that are considered fair use

Creative Commons

Contrary to popular belief, licensing your work under a Creative Commons license won't save your ass in court if it gets stolen.

Youtube

The abuse of copyright can especially be seen in Youtube. Coorporate Jews are claiming every video on there to avoid their precious work to be stolen. If you are living in a wrong country, you are fucked: Most music videos are USA only, bitches.

A trademark is seperate from a copyright, as a copyright is automatic, but a trademark must be applied for.
