@M16bruh@GiveMeBanHammer You're missing the crucial detail that they were told to stop as soon as they decided to register as a business.
Your ignorance is amazing.
@MetalZrea Tbh, I refused to use debuffers once but I decided to do so and watching all the debuffs go off and the Nice Nature stink hit the nostrils of the rival teams gave me a special feeling.
@mahboi779668398@GiveMeBanHammer Shift Up owns Doro. They can deny use of Doro to businesses using the mascot without permission.
What tf is there to explain?
They were allowed to use it because they weren't a registered business. Elotes Doro contacted Shift Up because they wanted to register and make it official.
Before anyone had patented Doro, the rights belonged to the people who made Doro.
Elotes Doro was using it without their consent. At least Shift Up got permission and the rights from the original owners and obtained the license.
They let Elotes Doro operate until they became a registered official business. That's when they were denied the right to use Doro and asked to rebrand. They're not the victims here. They're lucky they didn't get shut down earlier.
@9Gilgamesh7@DegenerateDude6 Good on Shift Up for actually getting permission from the owners to use the mascot and not hijacking it for their own branding and business interests without the consent of the owners.
@Dalivan0987@mauri_cvc@GiveMeBanHammer Irrelevant. Shift Up patented Doro and got consent from the people who created Doro.
You're the retard who doesn't understand how licensing works.
>Explaining how the law works and how why enforced it so some Mexicans don't steal your character for a buck is defending corpos.
Would've said the same if it wasn't a corpo and some independent artist that didn't want their character used.
It's not about how big the owner is, you can understand the philosophy of licensing laws.
Your pea brain can't think, you just post the most generic programmed "Corpo bootlicker" accusations.
The world doesn't operate according to your narrow subjective opinion of it.
The evidence is that people whose job it is to figure this out have already reached the correct conclusion.
1. There is a practical difference between Dorothy and Doro. They are different entities. It was created by THE fans that GAVE Shift Up the rights to own the character.
2. Use of licensed characters without approval by a third party (registered business, does not apply to small creators and artists, for example people selling convention merch) sets precedent and not enforcing it lets everyone knows they can use Doro however they want. Doro is not public domain
3. Does affect Shift Up's image if the character they own is potentially misused or a business using the character causes an incident because it comes off as an endorsement and therefore Shift Up ends up with the responsibility.
4. People who don't even play NIKKE, gacha games, or even hate "gooner" media that Doro originates from should be gatekept. I can't stand normies and LARPers hijacking MY culture.
If you're ignorant, maybe keep your opinions to yourself and stop spreading misinformation.
@Felixmglx@GuntherMller3@GiveMeBanHammer You don't even play NIKKE, keep Doro's name out of your filthy mouth. Pigs like you have nothing to do with this in the first place.
@GuntherMller3@GiveMeBanHammer It's not my fault you're upset at me for explaining how the laws work. How else would I describe a retard that just spams the same meme image when it doesn't apply?
