Boring Slapfight in Linkara Thread

[MisterBee]

How are you this stupid? I already said in my own post that Rifftrax has to purchase licenses or use public domain when they sell movies with their riffs. Learn how to read before you reply. Linkara doesn't own the rights to jack shit, and most of the comics he reviews aren't in the public domain.

Did you actually read the case you're citing? 2 Live Crew did a parody of a Roy Orbison song. A parody. Do you even know what a parody is? They recorded their own version, with their own instruments and vocals. They didn't play Orbison's version and tell jokes during it. What Linkara does is not parody, it's riffing. A commentary track with jokes over an original work is not a parody. Learn the difference. If Linkara wanted what he does to be parody, he would have to redraw the panels and rewrite the dialogue himself.

Gotta be honest, that'd be fucking hilarious

Are you being deliberately obtuse? Read the fucking decsion, in it they provide a test to determine if content is fair use. Reviews are generally considered fair use. Lewis, in addtion to recapping the plot, provides his transformative commentary (shitty as it may be,) and does not hold his content out as being a substitute for actually reading the comic. It is fundamentally different in substance than the original work in a way that DBZ:A or Rifftrax could plausibly be argued are not.

Edit: this argument intensely fucking autistic, spergatory when?

Imagine him ripping into Liefeld's art while showing his own sub Chris-chan level Lightbringer style redrawings.

*autism defending Linkara's read-aloud storytime as "transformative" "commentary"*

No. Go away.

He did this already, well kinda.

He did a review of a schlock comic called cinnimon and interrupted the review to pimp his own comic Revolution of the Mask.

He didn't draw that himself though. The artist he hired wasn't great, but his own skills are way below that.

The existence of Linkara's Lightbringer webcomic puts his tangent about why he won't review webcomics in a whole new perspective
