Actually, I'm fairly certain you can't copyright titles. You could, in theory, trademark a made-up word and use that word in or as a title, but there have been many many books, movies, songs, etc. that shared titles and are completely unrelated works made by different people. I once tried to find a book I remembered from my childhood called "The Uninvited." It was a HUGE pain in the ass, because a ton of books and movies have used that title, and they're mostly all horror stories. More to the point:

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that "Dragon Ball Infinity" may have contained other references protected IPs.

I'm about to download and check this out. I am hoping that those two purple-haired near identical looking women are not the ones getting body-swapped. I get that they're mother and daughter, but still. For one, if they're the two main characters, wouldn't it be better to have some variety in there? Also ... I mean those two people look like they could just pretend to be each other and no one would even notice.

EDIT: I still don't know what the deal is with these files marked "file.zip.exe" that anonfiles is trying to push on me, but I ain't falling for it. Sus as all hell as far as I'm concerned.
Anonfiles does that shit a lot. I would use a different download if I were you.

You can actually trademark movie titles, Disney does this all the time. Even if that werent the case a story about Mother/Daughter body swap called Freaky Friday is going to draw attention. And you dont mess with the House of Mouse, even when you win they hurt you bad enough that you may as well have lost.

How long will this game last on Patreon, while it violates their stupid prohibitions ??

No idea why you are quoting me, I was not talking about anything related to that. Lol

It's an attempt to catch people who install Windows {or buy a box with it already installed, more likely} and don't know to change the default setting that leaves the filetype off when it shows you files.

Running Windows in default mode, your example file name would show up simply as "file.zip" and the noo0b would click it ...

The Disney movie is based on a . You can trademark movie titles but given that this is a new medium and not even necessarily based on that particular movie (there have been multiple), that doesn't apply.

While this has some truth, you also have to consider how Intellectual Property laws work. You see, once you have a trademark, you absolutely MUST defend it, and be seen to defend it, or you can lose the trademark permanently. That's simply how the laws were written, partly to handle when a trademark becomes part of common terminology, but also for when a company goes bust, the ownership of trademark becomes murky, and it can be assumed to be no longer protected - to have lapsed. But it means companies have to be hyper aggressive with trademark use, or lose it all.

From what I saw so far, it looks like there will be no positive characters in this story. And from the looks of it, the story is heading in a dark direction. Although I love corruption genre, I'm getting some mixed feelings here. On one hand I pity the heroine, a naive girl who moved to another town, no friends, mother refuses to understand, stepfather and stepbrother are secretly crazy perverts. But the fact that the girl herself has a crush on a typical "bad guy" and longs for him makes it hard to sympathize with her. Like, well, it's your own fault for a shit taste. Overall, I don't know what to think about this game. I love the corruption genre, but this particular game evokes negative feelings in me. But it's not because the writting is bad, it's because of the concept. There is a feeling that this story could have been even darker if there was a really nice guy on the scene and who would treat her like a human being, but in the end it would still have come to where it's going. Anyway, I specifically got into the discussions to see what the game was about, but no one is really discussing it. So hopefully my commentary will help someone. The game itself is not bad, so I wish good luck to the developer.

Of the things that could have been improved. The game is sorely lacking any sounds. I'm not even talking about ambient, but just sounds during the actions, such as: kisses, moans, strong emotional reactions, environment. This will really improve immersion in the game. And of course, more visual content could improve the overall impression compared to textual descriptions.
