No more Mario Royale

Wasnt the entire game free?

>demand payment for thing you do not own
Are you mentally ill

So, since it was prob. not the DMCA shit anymore, why do you think it's being shut down? Some mega autist driving Inferno into deleting everything? SMM2 coming out friday and ending the thing since no more point to it? The usual "BORED NOW DED GAME DELET NOW" autism? Or something else?

Well Yea Forumsbros, it's over. What are your plans for the future? Are any of you planning to salvage the engine for your own nefarious purposes?

Yeah but that memer linked his patreon to the game itself.

If you don't defend your IP then you're just inviting others to do the same shit.

Don't get mad at Nintendo, get mad at the retard who blatantly copied Mario.

Oh.

Well thats a good way to ruin a fun thing for everyone.

Thing is, if you're using someone else's property you can't make ANY profit on it. That's one of the major reasons why fangames get taken down by Nintendo, either the host site has ads on it or the creator had a patreon.

*75

you just play through a world from super mario bros. 4 levels, of initially 3 different sets picked randomly, they added 3 more later. in the first couple days it was 100 players, then 75. the top 3 people place after beating Bowser but the rest die in a pit of lava. there were always names but at first the only way you could see them was to place in the top 3 but with squad codes you could see the names of people with the same code. the main goal is to beat the world but you can kill others with shells or stars for extra deterrent. several people could get power-ups at once if they hit it simultaneously. later on there was a win counter and a kill counter.

copyright lawyers actually are the scum of the earth, never give them the benefit of the doubt. If you see anyone whipping out "but they have to defend their trademark!" argument, ask them to name a single time in recent memory a massive corporation has actually had their trademark genericized thanks to some sperg's fanfiction and then tell them to fuck off.

Copyright lawyers exist solely to stomp on harmless consumers and fans out of hope of gouging a little extra money out of people that probably can't afford it.

They still made and own it, that's pretty fair. I mean it's not like Disney and things like Snow White.

Why shouldn't theu have that right?

This. Legal departments rarely have half a clue in these cases and just kind of shotgun very strongly worded notices out there whether or not they have any real case.
Typically, they hope a formal letter from a scary company legal team will be enough to shutdown any potential IP violations, otherwise they'll have to actually communicate with other departments and sit down and actually scrutinize a product to see if it really does cross any legal lines, which it typically doesn't.
Most of the rest of the company ends up having no clue what legal's doing for the most part unless someone makes a big enough fuss about it to get media attention to them.

Sounds cool. You need art or music?

Hmm. That's probably the whole reason this got Nintendos attention. What a dumbass.

I'm a lawyer, if they're not saying it's probably because they aren't really able to or at the very least it's difficult to explain.

In my jurisdiction honestly I would argue that litigation is premature if they just raised an action without explaining it to you and giving a fair opportunity to make right the wrong. They wouldn't get away with expenses.

That said, America (which I assume it is) could be different. Very harsh if so.

...but he did make the game. SMB doesn't have 75 players or the interactions you know. He could have changed the levels and physics more though.

And it was still like the most addicting thing ever despite that

>using their work for a quick buck

He made the game in html5 in three weeks and nintendo wouldn't have been able to do a thing about it if he had used original assets in the first place.
They STILL don't have a legal leg to stand on since he complied with the DMCA and removed all nintendo owned assets. He just doesn't want to get fucked in court for years that he can't afford. Kill yourself, bootlicker.

Nintendo fans will play Nintendo defense force to the bitter end every time. They're weird like that. I guess because their content is usually more quirky and colorful they have more of a base for autistic people who can't comprehend that their "team" might still be a scummy corporation.

Literally nothing, so far as I'm aware.

What do you mean? I'm referring to how some Nintendo fans have this weird sense of brand loyalty that makes them act as though they always have to support Nintendo, like it's a team sport.

Nintendo saw through the DMCA facade and demanded that the game be completely shut down

Fonts generally aren't copyrighted, and you must be retarded if you haven't seen the billion other indie games on steam that use the same font. Enemy assets are original. Level designs aside from 1-1 aren't copyrighted.

You can't protect an idea.

You're right, "Mario" is trademarked. The character of Mario is copyrighted. That distinction matters very little in this case though, so I wonder why the fuck you even bothered to make it

That's not the point. Nintendo is still actively developing Super Mario Bros, three decades later. Their consoles all have copies FOR SALE on their virtual stores. The property is still being monetized. It is not abandoned. You can't have your way with a title just because it's old. As long as Nintendo is still making the title available to the product at a price, releasing it in whole or part on your own terms is absolute dumbfuckery.

Not an idea, but an idea that has been realized becomes Intellectual Property, which can be protected.

You're simply completely wrong.

>There are people out there that do worship everything Nintendo makes.
In very, very small quantities. Smaller than most brands come to think of it because they tend to be the type of fan that aren't afraid of voicing concerns regarding the games like Mario Maker 2 and Pokemon SS for instance.

Whether you want to believe it or not the wide majority of "nintendo fans" aren't fans of the company but of the game.

Draw, listen to music, go out with friends, buy video games.

Actually you can you dumb nigger. Copyrights used to only last 20 years until Disney fucked with everything. Now it's more like 170 years but in the end, you can indeed have your way with a title just because it is old you stupid fucking mongrel.

doubt nintendo would make a good version of royale even if they tried. the fun was in how punishing it was. something they actively avoid nowadays

Copyrights are only a good thing when they last long enough for someone to profit from their idea but not long enough to fuck everyone. 20 years was plenty before. 2 centuries is overkill hardcore. You aren't entitled to your idea forever. What's the point of protecting your idea at all if it fails to be of use to humanity because you hoard it for 2 centuries like faggot.

Way to completely miss the entire point, brainlet. It's not about owning or not owning anything, it's about the power of the internet to spread information, and all that entails. The scope of copyright simply can't cover that, so you can either kick and scream and rail against it, or adapt and change and succeed, like Gaiman.

theres no such thing as originality anymore, only expanding on existing concepts. At the end of the day, in order to make a new game, you will invariably take something from other game and copying it in your work.

I wont defend infernoplus for not wanting to release the full source of the game and asking for serverfunding via patreon, but if you think doing original things is easy, when no one could even expect to think the most original concept for a royale is a royale version of mario, then you deserve to be shoved on a pile of shit.

In short: stop defending the corporations and shut your fucking hole, cuz its clear you dont care about anything! FUCK YOU!

We're in the age of the internet user.
The power to spread information without "stealing" the works of others or handing it out for free isn't even necessary anymore. Not to mention Mario is one of the largest faces in current media.

He did that. It wasn't enough

BUT WHYYYYYYYYYY

FUCK THIS GAY EARTH

Now how about Sonic 2 Battle Royale?

That is EXACTLY what he did, period.

But nintendo still took down the fucker, SMM2 is way too profitable to let any potential competition run amok, even if by concept is not the same thing.

No I still have a point because throwing some paint on something doesn't change it so dramatically that you should be able to keep something forever and ever by changing the color of a pixel every few years or throwing into a mosh pit with some other shit you've been hoarding.

In fact, we'd all be better off right now with my point because not only could Nintendo use SMB1 features on their newest shit but other people could do the same and potentially come up with something better than Nintendo.

The only reason this got popular was because of the Mario brand which is owned by Nintendo, which gives them every right to shit it down. If it was actually an origional platformer there’d be no issue but then again it’d have never gotten famous

Fuck the developers and moderators, they fucking banned people without warning via IP for using "nigger" as a username, and were even making money via the servers and Patreon off of Nintendo's IP!
>but-but-but, they didn't infringe on nintendos copyright user!
Fuck off, they did. Even after the whole DMCA situation, they still kept the physics the same, changed a couple blocks around in 1-1, and changed the sprites. All of the characters look too similar, and the game is almost the exact same! Fucking idiot NPC's who think the guy did nothing wrong, he is a fucking SJW.

Not very hard as long as you have an infinite amount of cash. Guess who has that in this situation. Even after taking down the assets, nintendo still hounded him with unwarranted and completely frivolous threats. Scared of a legal battle that would bankrupt him, he caved.
Inb4 some dumbass who doesn't know what reverse engineering is talks about how the gameplay was similar.

Ah yes, I was wondering if we would see the resident schizophrenic one last time as well. Glad to see you're still making shit up without any proof at all.

and you'd saturate the market with too much of that property that it'd lose any of its value and impact on the market, with quality going down the drain as literally anyone could officially publish a mario game

s-satania likes anal?

Are you a literal moron? Copyrights exist for the sole purpose of getting those ideas out to humanity. They are not meant to be your one hit wonder you live off forever that no one can touch. That only changed when the biggest kike of them all lobbied it for years and years.

Imagine thinking no one should be able to use fire or wheels ever because someone else came up with it first.

20 years is PLENTY of time to make money off your idea and there's plenty of evidence to prove it. I'd even extend it to 30 or 40 for absolute morons who can't figure out what to do with it.

Movies make most of their money with 5 years of concept. Videogames are the same. TV same shit. Books same. Everything past that is trickling money which again, you're not entitled to live off forever.

That's like saying the local blacksmith made one sword for the village so because it was great, he shouldn't have to contribute to the village or humanity for the rest of his life.

That doesn't affect Nintendo's quality retard. Nintendo would still be Nintendo and you could buy from them if you wanted to be sure of it's quality but other people would have a choice to go somewhere else and Nintendo wouldn't be able to fleece you as hard because they wouldn't have a monopoly anymore which we've all agreed in law is a terrible thing for everyone which is why we are literally looking into breaking up Google, Facebook, and Amazon right this moment despite their copyrights and patents.

If he didn't ask for patreon bux and didn't use mario sprites from the beginning none of this would ever have been taken down.

Doesn't matter legally speaking since only 1-1 is copyrighted, and he changed that. Could have changed everything else, too, but again, it doesn't matter. Even if he changed literally everything about the game, he still would have gotten hounded by nintendo's Faggot Jew division because he used mario assets initially (despite taking them down immediately after getting the DMCA notice).

>someone needs to rebirth the game
Then you'd definitely need somebody to make new levels and music

>Doesn't matter legally speaking since only 1-1 is copyrighted
I don't follow.

lmao, keep it up man. I want to see you in future threads, ranting about random shit

>How are they fucking over everyone if it's their creation exactly?
Think about how many adaptions of pre-copyright works like Alice in Wonderland, Sherlock Holmes, any number of classic fairy tales, etc. there are. Disney, the main company that fucked over copyright, basically got big by adapting other people's works, and they didn't have to fucking buy the IP off anyone because they didn't have to and no one else did. You're not going to see that with any works of the late 20th century, in fact you'll be dead before it happens. If someone wanted to make their own Dr. Seuss adaption, they need to have millions of dollars they can pay to the rights holder, or they simply can't do it. Look at how it's affected Disney specifically if you want a good example, they just buy companies and take their IPs that way because the copyright laws they created themselves prohibit them from making a Star Wars movie or a Captain America movie or anything like that. Superman and Batman are only 15 years younger than the copyright ceiling currently in place, but because lobbyists are so good at extending that ceiling your grandchildren probably won't be allowed to write stories about them if they wanted to.

Copyright as a concept was made with the intention of public good. If you make a good concept, you can make sole profits off it for 14 years. This was done so people would be encouraged to make new things. Because of how the laws have been twisted, however, it's now having the opposite effect, and people who own those rights don't HAVE to make new things because they can just use what they've already created, and nobody else gets to use those good ideas, ever.

Compare with patents. A patent, as is, expires after 17 years. The creator gets 17 years to profit off their creation, and then anyone can use it. If nobody was ever allowed to produce the telephone or the television without paying royalties, imagine how much less INNOVATION there'd be with those devices.

>theres no such thing as originality anymore, only expanding on existing concepts.
user, creativity has no limits and anyone could make a new and great idea that could revolutionize video games.
Want to know the real problem though?
Everyone is looking to copy, specifically from Nintendo, so they can have their own Mario, Zeldas, Kirbys ect for quick cash. It's why games back in the NES to PS2 era were so much better, no one was thinking about making "spiritual successors" and remakes, they were just making whatever games came into their heads so you would end up with crazy yet fantastic titles.

>but if you think doing original things is easy
It's not meant to be easy, you're meant to think, you're meant to have passion, you're meant to put in work. Not just leech on the ideas of others like Infernoplus and Disney.

Toroko has a very high risk high reward playstyle, he either lived and won or died and lost. I can't recall if I ever outraced Toroko, but there were a number of times where I watched him die and ended up coming in 1st.

it would affect the mario brand image. Without copyright laws to protect their IP, anyone could publish a mario game and have it appear official. Also, where do you draw the line? If you're arguing that you shouldn't be able to copyright an IP, then what about your brand image in general? What would stop a company setting up their name to be literally "Super Mario Bros", using the same logo and everything? It's be impossible for a regular consumer to tell what's official mario produce from Nintendo, and what's been made by other companies.

This is basically why copyright of IP exists, for brand identity and to make clear to the public what's official produce.

Literally the exact same physics/gameplay and the exact same worlds from Nintendo's game with a different coat of paint. He's absolutely infringing here. It's like saying I can buy a hoover vacuum, paint it blue, and then monetize and manufacture the product as my own.

Alright everyone, I'm going to give a rundown of the people who caused this game to die, or contributed to its downfall

>Tyrone

The main leader of the downfall, the first hacker, and the primary troll. He is the most likely person to have contacted Nintendo since he got banned for using nigger as a username, even after being banned for
cheating.

>Chad hacker

I am not entirely sure. He posted a couple tweaks to Tyrone's hacks, and then disappeared

>Yea ForumsPN

Second in command, and was in it from day 1.
He went onto the Discord after being banned, and lied about him being banned for saying "nigger". The moderators later made a whole thread on him, and tried to DOX him. They also later called him a schizophrenic, and also said you could not be banned for using nigger as a username, yet Tyrone claims different. He was also called out being a teenager, but this has been proven false.
P.S., me, the poster of this, is Yea ForumsPN. I am also the one who typically replies in correct English, but not the guy who mass replies to other people.

>Moderators

While I forgot their names, they have been confirmed to be teenagers, weeaboos, and most likely autistic, and suffer with gender dysphoria. They were also given an undisclosed share of money generated from the servers on the game, and from Patreon.
>InfernoPlus
He never really talked to his audience, and just updated everyone on Twitter and his user. I have yet to hear from him, even after asking him about the situation of the game, and the money being made off of it. He just coded it, nothing more really.

Mario Royale (DMCA Royale)

6/17/2019 - 6/25/2019
Killed off by hackers and by the developers.
You will not be missed.

> Being so autistic that you can't spell harder correctly

Anyway he wouldn't have been DMCA'd if he hadn't been asking for donations. I knew it was going to get taken down the moment I saw the Patreon logo.

Any other royales games like this?

>he wouldn't have been DMCA'd if he hadn't been asking for donations

Not yet but you can bet your ass that there will be soon. If not by people like Inferno, then the companies themselves will jump on the idea.

>Disney, the main company that fucked over copyright, basically got big by adapting other people's works, and they didn't have to fucking buy the IP off anyone because they didn't have to and no one else did.
You do realise that's the main reason why copyright laws SHOULDN'T be so lax right?
If they do so what's stopping another company from assuming control in the future and repeating the exact same thing? That's why Disney is extending it all the time despite it biting them in the ass and robbing them of the ability to make endless adaptations of the works of others for free, they don't want anyone doing that to them.

>This was done so people would be encouraged to make new things
Except such a short time doesn't actually do that.
For starters once hitting the golden goose a creator isn't going to immediately stop creating if they enjoy doing so.
Then you have people who simply wait for something to expire so they can make use of a name without putting in the effort of creating and take one character and slap them right into the setting of another story for notoriety which was incredibly common even before an IP would expire as was the case with "Sherlock Holmes Arrives Too Late".

Some people actually thought that was a joke, but it seems that he was serious.

They don't have to, they can just strongman anything they don't like out.

Sorry, I forgot to add a section about how the news made it very public, and the other Anonymous user who kept mass replying with other people. I'll add it to the document.

>imagine how much less INNOVATION there'd be with those devices.
There would probably be more along with more efficient methods of achieving the same thing not to mention way more competition. Also those are two entirely different things.

Nintendo is the brand. Everything they make carries that brand. If everyone was making garbage Mario and Nintendo decided to make one, Mario by Nintendo would have a completely different meaning. Just like open world by Nintendo took off like crazy versus open world by Ubisoft.

Copyright never in any way ever existed for brand identity. That's some bullshit you made up in your own head.

Refer to for a decent explanation of why these things exist.

Mario isn't a genre of game, the genre as a whole is platformer and anyone can make a platformer, so your analogy doesn't make much sense.

No thank you. I have nothing to apologize for, besides lying. Please, take your complaints back to Discord.

Man, fuck Nintendo, seriously. What got a stick up their ass with this most recent wave of copyright claims? Seems like they got half of patreon banned.

>Nintendo is the brand
Nintendo is the COMPANY you idiot. The titles they make, Mario in this example, is the brand because it's the product.

>Copyright never in any way ever existed for brand identity.
That's because the original idea of copyright was created to ensure one person COULDN'T form a brand and gain fame and money why do you think it was so short and would expire long before the owner would die?

I am not an electionfag. I rarely browsed /pol/, and after trolling Yea Forums for about 3 days, I got up and left Yea Forums until around late 2017.

If that was the point, why not make it shorter? It was absolutely originally intended for the creator to get a long enough time to make most of the money, but people could also make derivative works before THEY died.

>Nintendo is both a company and a brand.
No. A brand is a very, very specific thing. They aren't producing more Nintendo's you know.

Then why not make it longer if that was the case? Why let it expire at all? Why give anyone the ability to destroy that brand image and devalue the product if the intent was to benefit the creator?

Who cares about games with lootboxes? I want to play and discuss actual fun games.

He still earned money to "support the servers" you dunce.
And guess what, it was more than he needed to pay for those servers.

>why not move on to make something original out of it?
Because making something original takes time, effort and dedication, something they didn't want to put into a game.

I don't play shit games with loot boxes in them.

>Back then
Ah yes. I forgot that those backwards savages were an entirely different world than we were! Walt Disney was scraping out a living for twenty years. No one heard about Mark Twain until the invention of the internet. Edison died a pauper because no one heard about his inventions until the copyright expired.

>Why let it expire at all?
Did you purposely ignore the other half of my post that said the point was also to intend people to make works based on the property before they died? With both of your logic, how do either of you justify it lasting 50 years after the death of the creator? I believe some protection is absolutely reasonable. I believe 50 years after the creator's death is far too much. I'm not pretending to know exactly where in the middle the number should be, but the laws sure as hell shouldn't be strengthened even further.

That's always the only argument you people have "Why 20? Why 50? Why not infinity years or no years?" Me being unable to present an exact number of years is not the issue. You agree that baldness exists, right? So I'm sure you can tell me the exact number of hairs someone has to lose before they're considered bald, right? No? Same fucking thing with this.

He swapped out the mario sprites for sprites that were mostly just slightly altered.

if you can't find another way to make money in 20 years you deserve whatever the fuck you get
knock offs are competition and a cornerstone of a fair and healthy market

it's utterly ridiculous that we put it on a higher pedestal than businesses who actually have to continue paying for resources and employees to continue profiting off of the original idea
this brand and corporate worship is absolute fucking cancer

Is this really what your argument comes down to? Putting words in people's mouths?
No one said they didn't have notoriety but it certainly wasn't anything special or something they could live on especially if they had to split the earnings with publishers and advertisers. Again, they lived in a completely different time.

Nintendo is definitely in the wrong here, but don't act like it's the fucking end.
Now that the game and genre has gained traction, he can work on a similar but unique version of it.

Are you sure you're not gonna use some original assets? If you need some I'm sure Yea Forums can help out, hell I can make shit for you

They absolutely lived on it, though. There are countless examples of famous people becoming wealthy or at least able to support themselves through their own intellectual property through the years. See: Pretty much every author that ever lived, for instance.

Here's a great example. Edgar Allen Poe was the first known author to try and make a living solely through writing. I bet you heard he died penniless, so this should prove me wrong, right? Nope, he died penniless because of his huge fucking gambling problem. Adjusted for inflation, his writing career earned him about 50,000 dollars per year. Mark Twain is another great author, especially because he kept writing and living through when his earlier works entered public domain while he was still alive. I can give you example after example.

The world isn't that fucking different. Find me one example of someone going broke because of the 20 year copyright expiration.

Post the source code somewhere, like github or gitgud.io. That way, if you get taken down, someone else can pick up the mantle.

I don't plan on making any money off of this, I also have it set up so if I do get DMCA'd it's extremely trivial to set up your own server and host it by yourself.

For now I'm going to use SMB1 assets but if anyone wants to make art when it's done I'll gladly accept it. I was thinking of having original assets but have a built-in sprite swapper so people can load their own shit in.

protip: release the source code as soon as you can
they can't shut it down as easily like if the game was completely online (but who would do that?)

This. The first person that makes an actual decent original game with this concept is going to make bank. Add in microtransactions for outfits and other worthless epenis shit and they're set for life.

>if anyone wants to make art when it's done I'll gladly accept it
Alright, I'll keep a look out.

Could be handy if there was support for ninesliced tilesets instead of using a single block for ground.

Use original assets from the beginning. Don't add bing bing wahoo shit at all so Nintendies don't try to get you shut down. Just add in the functionality of a sprite swapper from the beginning as well and let the internet put in the bing bing for you.

Do not ban people for any names. While cheating is a no no, make it explicitly clear that cheating is not allowed, so we don't have random Anonymous users being a sperg.

I don't think that one was me, but I've definitely been in the same position while other Yea Forumsros watched me fall into the "Too Bad" lava pit.

If you do that then you skip the C&D and go straight to the suing process because it's very apparent that you've done something that you can't take back.

Just going to point out that fire/wheels would fall under patent law, not copyright. Copyright is for creative “artistic” works while patents are for inventions with an actual function. The main difference is that patents cost money to hold onto and are more limited in time compared to copyrights (these are given instantly upon the creation of a new and creative work).

Not saying that current copyright law is good (that varies from country to country), but it doesn’t stop the spread of functional inventions like the wheel and swords.

"Why am I banned? I didn't cheat! It was only specified that I couldn't use scripts for stuff like invulnerability, but I wrote my own code to give me infinite lives so it doesn't count!"

Godspeed user.

They expect one of in the wreckage brother

Just make a banner that you have to click to access the site that says "By accessing this website, you give up all rights to any intellectual property that is remotely similar to the ones hosted on this site. All rights, profits, trademarks, and copyrights involving the video game character "Mario" are given away to the owner of this site" and then a little "ok" button.

Then if you get DMCA'd tell them to go fuck themselves, you own Mario now.

I did cheat, but I made it explicitly clear that I did. Just remember what I said, since one Anonymous user is a complete sperg, who has been like this for about a week now replying to literally everyone.

>Why give anyone the ability to destroy that brand image and devalue the product if the intent was to benefit the creator?
Because they balanced the benefit of the creator, enticing the creator to create more works, and the benefit of the public.

>they don't click OK
>you don't own shit and get dmca'd

Are you kidding? There was always a thread about it on the catalog at all times.

How can they DMCA you if they don't have any proof you violated their copyright?

I wasn't quoting you, I was making something up based on previous experience with players who will go into very fine detail in the rules just so they can get away with a cheat. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

By making one of the thousands of people that work for them who don't own the rights to Mario go check.

Hearsay, not legally admissible.

It's okay.

Yes that's true and another reason why copyrights make no sense. Why should something less useful than wheels and swords be given more protection?

Just change it to say "I am acting on behalf of the legal owner of Mario and I give full rights to the character to the owner of this site"

Because every time Disney's oldest copyrights are about to expire, they lobby congress to extend them another 30 years.

This actually depicts quite well what people seem to think will happen if Nintendo doesn't dmca anything using their ip.

>Cop gives a testimony in court
>That doesn't count! Its hearsay!
Derp

Use this graph, shows it much more clearly.

they are stupid and make no sense but its because of how useful something like a wheel would be, thus more incentive to open it to the market

Witness testimony, in some cases especially cops, is literally the most garbage evidence on earth. These retards forget or misremember important details all the time and cops have the added function of possibly lying straight to your face or purposely stating what happened in a way to make you look as guilty as possible even if you are innocent.

Protip: use original assets and put in a resource pack system so people can mod Mario in. Make it generic as fuck so that Nintendo doesn't have any leg to stand on.
Also reminder that the gameplay of Mario isn't copyrighted, something like that would fall under patents and they've long since expired.

Fun fact:

Pinocchio was 59 years old (1881) when Disney made the movie (1940) because it was in public domain.

But I cannot use Disney's Pinocchio as source material because of copyright even though it's now 79 years old and significantly older than when Disney remade it.

Just question them in court.
"Oh, you were acting on specific instructions from the legal team? Well, that makes you part of the legal team, so you had the legal ability to give away the rights"

tfw was always too busy to really play it. Plus the framerate really killed it for me. Had such potential. Maybe he can make something 100% og.

>Mario will enter the public domain in 2080.
Awesome, only 61 more years and we can play this online flash game!

how will you update? guessing random threads. gonna be a pain to keep up with that waiting.

CIA INVENTED AIDS, signing off.

How come all Satania posters are always dumb pieces of shit?

I love Reisen!
Was fun while it lasted even if I only got to the podium like 4 times. Also im not the real reisenfag

>See: Pretty much every author that ever lived, for instance.
You do realise they didn't live on their works alone, right?

>Edgar Allen Poe was the first known author to try and make a living solely through writing
One, "try". Very important words. It's common knowledge that selling his stories made him a meager amount of money due to the recession at the time. Many of his printed works netted him anything between 5 and 50 dollars.
Two, he didn't live on just his own works and even became the assistant editor for the Baltimore Saturday Visiter briefly and later the Burton's Gentleman's Magazine for a year where he only made $10 a week. He also worked at the Southern Literary Messenger for a similar amount but over a period of about three years if I remember right.
Regardless of my accuracy the point is that he never made a living out of writing.
Three, he was originally hindered by the LACK of copyright law, if his work was reprinted in another publication he didn't earn a thing.
Four, his gambling problem began and ended long before he even entered the military.

Why on earth would you use a perfect example against your own arguments?
Are you some kind of idiot?

>The world isn't that fucking different.
Really?
Back then getting yourself noticed was nigh impossible unless you went into publishing yourself which both Twain and Allen did which took an incredible amount of work to maintain.

>Find me one example of someone going broke because of the 20 year copyright expiration.
Mark Twain ironically enough.
Remember how he would also spend money investing in inventions?
Remember how he lost it all?
Remember how his most recent works flopped and he couldn't fall back on previous works because his earlier ones entered the public domain forcing him to travel from country to country in an attempt to acquire the rights in those areas?

You know nothing of these people.
