To sum up, the man who created the Ghost Rider character - which has featured in a successful movie and made a lot of money for Marvel - was sued by Marvel because, being elderly and unemployed, he made a little money selling Ghost Rider material at conventions without authorization. I have a lot to say about the morality of this, but never mind. Just get in touch with the persons featured in the linked article and send them your money. Also please link in your own LJs. And a few abusive e-mails for Disney and Marvel would not be out of place either.

You're repeating yourself, and you're not any more convincing the second time around. In fact, by trying to be clever, you just prove that you don't understand what you are talking about. If I buy a hand-made shoe from you and use it for walking, I haven't impinged on your rights. If I buy it, copy it, and then use the copies to compete against you, I'm a fucking scoundrel, a rattlesnake, a creature without honour or worth. And if on top of it I claim the LEGAL (!!) right to prevent you from using your own design, and the exclusive right to use it myself, I am a barbarous creature of night, an undead piece of vermin whose best destiny is to die swiftly with a stake through what it uses for a heart. And if the law favours me, then it is no law, just a vile conspiracy of lawyer criminals, of the kind that protects rich criminals from Naples to Beijing. End of debate. And thanks for giving me the best possible reason to use pirated files.
