Some system members have slightly different views on the matter but we are broadly anti-copyright.
My personal view is that copyright for an individual work should last 30 years, and should only be allowed to be held by an individual, not a corporation.
I want to emphasize that I speak as an author and creator myself.
This is horrifying to look at. I urge caution to anyone who wants to read about this.
From the link:
Though CommonTransWs is usually used to highlight the positives of transness and the trans community, this time the creator of the account, Zack or Twitter username sockwearingdog, utilized it to highlight what they considered to be degeneracy: acidicpawz’s alleged zoophilia. Despite acidicpawz professing adamantly that they were “no contact” and there being significant doubt that they were, in fact, a “zoo” (short form of zoophile), Zack consistently drew attention to them with both the gimmick account and their main account, stating directly things such as “you make me ashamed to be transmasc.” and “I hope you get stuffed into a locker” while also making vague, related posts indirectly which state that “[Zoos] simply don’t deserve to live” and utilizing a sarcastic meme with “KYS (Keep Yourself Safe)” as a tongue-in-cheek method of encouraging suicide.
No, thankfully not.
Once a work is in the public domain it cannot be re-copyrighted in the US as the law stands right now.
If you create an adaptation of the work that includes new characters and elements not present in the original work, those elements can be copyrighted.
To use Peter Pan as an example, in order to assert ownership over Tinker Bell, the Disney company created a series “Disney Fairies” also known as Pixie Hollow.
All of the Pixie Hollow characters and ideas are copyrighted to the Disney company and belong to them.
Except Tinker Bell.
I promise, you can already find it published on Amazon, if that’s your cup of tea!
I have admittedly had to avoid a fair few of them when looking for Hook stories, since its a NOTP of mine. (Mentioning it is fine, we just don’t want to read any stories!)
What a delightful question, thank you.
We have three (and a half) ships with Hook.
🧜♀️ Hook and one of the mermaids of Neverland. She is nameless, but sometimes jokingly referred to as Tennille (a play on the old duo ‘The Captain and Tennille).
🧚♀️ Hook and Tinker Bell. Primarily after Pan forgets about her.
⚔ Hook and Jane Darling, the daughter of Wendy Darling.
Hook and his first make Smee as moirails.
Hook x Pan and Hook x Wendy are both NOTPs for us.
