If I decide to write a Miss Marvel story that includes a good portion of MCU villains, and basically makes infinity war end far worse than it has? Can I write it off as fan fiction or is it risky?
he was not sued by disney but instead by the company who owned the rights to the music. the guy tried to hard to make the composition original that it broke copyright law.
Star Wars Theory(SWT) cut a deal with LucasFilm to make a Vader fanfilm and they agreed on certain guidelines....episode 1 released Dec 20......flash forward 2019 Warner something under Disney Music stuck a copyright law coz the music sounds similar to the original Star Wars music like the good Samaritan(coz the ppl who made the music died).....then they threaten SWT if they challenge the strike then they gonna shut down the channel.....Disney earned $80000 from ad revenue by monetizig the video until Lucasfilm interfered and freed the video.....
that music company even copystrike Angry Joe for his Spiderman Far from Home review coz the trailer had music.....the morons of Disney r so desperate for money(they lost significant amount) they r doing manual strikes on videos....
“It just works” -YouTube Also how scummy, Make something Star Wars. Ok. This is too much like Star Wars LAWSUIT
If you check fanfiction net, you’ll see that there are heaps of marvel fanfictions. Marvel knows that it’s there. If they were really against it, they’d have had the marvel section removed from the site. They won’t mind if you add another to the mix.
You'll be fine, as long as you remove it when they send you a lawyer's letter of demand which insists that you stop sharing your affected stories. They can't simply take you to court, they will have to politely ask you to stop first. As long as you don't ignore the cease and desist letters, you won't be sued.
It was warner chappell.....the same assholes that copyrighted the brithday song and made atleast 50 million of it before it was back to being public. If you want to raise your pitchforks do it to warner chappell.
Just put the disclaimer 'this is a transformative work and not for sale' and whatever you do don't try to make money off it. Fanworks are totally fine to do, as long as people know what it is.
Depends on how much money you do out of it, how popular becomes and how attentive are the parties responsible for those specific copyrights.
