You should check out all my posts on this subject.
Why? You can't copyrite what isn't yours. End of discussion. 'D' and Sophia are basic models for purchase by anyone. Only the original creator has a say over their use depending on the term of the licence (even modifying said model can be dodgy deending on terms of said licence). End-user certainly has no say.

Plagiarism could play a part in this as well as other legal stuff
Long as story/title/referances etc are changed enough, then parody laws come into play to protect you.

Yeah i am sure he doesn't have any intent of having Sophia as a mistress.
Definitely not. To my best knowledge, "Mistress" is a very uncommon translation for "cumare", I found it only in some fairy tales. Comare Volpe was Mistress Fox in a very famous tale. But mostly it links to being a close neighbor, a relative, a Godmother.

Well i guess she could always be Godmother to his children.

In other google threads you find it translated as Godmother. It is a very complex word to translate because it really depends on the context, but in all cases it still links to the meaning of being closely associated. In the area I came from it is also sometimes used to define a woman who knows everything about everyone and talks a lot, but this is not how it was used here. I'd definitely translate it as "close associate", not "mistress" here.
))))) Ha, ha, ha "Close friend" do you dream of having sex with me? Show me your breasts and ass! ))

No! Anything but a close friend.

The meaning of "cumare" is protection and power.
Larry said "Your wish is my wish".
Right now: She can use it against Aiden and Bennett.

Well, Godmother (and more so Godfather) mean someone of high importance in the Mafia ranks. I think he was just stating that from that moment on she would have been highly valued and, to an extent, untouchable, just my guess.
Although I believe he plans on having her do much more than just blessing his children in the future, I reckon he pictures himself as her Master, rather than her as his Mistress. And she mentioned she likes being dominated by real men (at least that is what "my" Sophia told him)...

Again why i said you should read through all my comments.

I do not know much about law so this is only my opinion you can use the same character models as L&P did not actually create them he brought them as for the names and the title of the VN that could be a different matter, and also each country has different laws too.

On a different note, has anyone noticed anything about the Twist, since it's been removed? The only thing I noticed was during the Ellie event when they were talking briefly about Dylan being away, Sophia didn't seem as annoyed at him as she would have been with the Twist in.
is true L&P removed the twist!!!

My friend, really, why do you persist? There is clearly a different, sexual context.
I do not think you get what I am saying and I am not ignoring the sexual context. There is also a power context as he is the one calling all the shots so clearly no, they're not friends. I am not saying they're friends, I am saying that this is what he is implying: do what I ask and you will be our cumare, someone close, respected and, therefore, protected. And the term makes perfect sense in this context. I have no need to persist in anything, if you like to think he called her a mistress, fine by me.
