.. Let me see if I got this correctly. One rp creates a basic idea that takes the players into other worlds that are trademarked and calls it a fan-based creation, thus breaking copyright laws. They also allow for people to take avatars that are probably copyrighted by an artist, and creates a character based on it. (Yes it IS technically illegal, its just that no one cares, including the copyright owners such as Nintendo in case of a pokemon rp. They will probably not sue you, though technically they could. See the Berne convention.) ... But then, someone else comes around and makes a second rp based the very same idea, only to be hindered because... Of copyright. Because the 'original creator' of that rp (hint: they aren't, the real have been running on deviant art for much longer than five years just to name an example) don't want 'their concept' 'stolen'.I hope I somehow misunderstood because otherwise this has to be the most hypocritical drama I've ever heard of during all my years of roleplaying. What the bloodied hell. That being said, I might possibly join if this kicks off.
