The stalker's name was Tarantula. I just find it weird that having a yandere in the comics was okay (there were several of them in the comics if you squint), but a moment of intimacy? No...we can't have in an animated show meant for adults.
i have no problem with there being a yandere character, my problem is how its downplayed. i mean, she even tried to make him sign a marriage contract while drunk... and isnt she supposed to be a hero as well?

Good ol' USA... More afraid of a penis than a hundred atom bombs!
Now now, we all know that accidental sighting of penis can scar the youth for a lifetime, where as after atom bombs, they don't have to worry about anything. :p

They already had that battle a couple of years ago. Since Patreon is seen as a tip jar and the end result is to be released for free, all DC/ Warner Bros. could do is request the name being changed to something other than "Injustice Unlimited". Hence why it's "Something Unlimited". So while parody is transformative (even though DC has tried to get pretty risky) the real thing that won GG the case was the intent of the end result to be released for free.

An unfinished work can be declared a violation of copyright law, but since none of the Patreons are forced into pledging, and this is all at the will of the creator, then the proceeds are seen as donation and not "for-profit". If the game were finished and being sold for money that would be for profit and violation. While many professional coders could make the argument that version 2.xxx is the designation for the second version of a finished product, GG has wisely put a screen at the game's start saying "work in progress".

tl;dr Been there, done that, got away scott free, its a game being played in the gray areas of the law rn.
If this is the case, I wonder if things are any different with Disney.

One of my favorite games here is Orange Trainer with Ahsoka. The ending was a little abrupt for my taste and a lot of people (me included) were hoping that the dev might continue it someday. It's been a while so I'm foggy on the details, but I remember someone here saying the dev can't due to copyright reasons. Is it different with Disney? It shouldn't be right?

That's all a function of blast radius, pretty sure burn scars also last a lifetime (well, unless with skin grafts):p:D:p

Disney IS Star Wars...
Yes I know. Similarly DC is Justice League. So my question was that if the dev of SU can legally continue this game (provided the previous poster is correct), then shouldn't the dev of Orange Trainer be able to continue his game? I know Disney and DC are different companies, but the law should apply the same right? Hope it's more clear now.

DC being more lenient with copyrights doesn't mean Disney won't go batshit crazy at the mere mention of some1 drawing anything resembling 1 of their IP. Just check Nintendo's record on takedowns compared to every other game company

If it's a matter of leniency then I get it. I just took the previous post to mean that SU continues not because DC is lenient, but because the dev can legally make this game. Which begged the question about Disney.

You seem to misunderstand. Disney is infamously litigious... WB less so (or at it was WB at the time, now it's some weird WB Discovery channel mishmash, so they're as likely to be more litigious as they are could give 2 shits).

18K a month. :ROFLMAO:
From your perspective, that's a lot (216K/year before Patreon takes their cut, assuming average never changes). From the perspective of a billion dollar corporation, that's worth a cease-and-desist letter, not a multi-year lawsuit... not that it would ever get that far, 18K a month ain't worth paying lawyer bills. Plus, publicity might compound issues.

Patreon would be the better lawsuit in the USA, but between copyright takedown safe harbor requirements from DMCA and Section 230 stuff protecting web hosts, Patreon is relatively bulletproof. For now... although DMCA takedown stuff prolly won't apply here, it's still marginally transformative, not literally that weird chopped up shit on Youtube designed to avoid algorithms that IS straight copyright infringement.

Easy he's white and a man. there's no affinity group to complain about it and when there is they are declared white supremacists, and/or male chauvinists with fragile egos also known as white fragelity by the sjws
Actually Nightwing is Romani, he's a literal gypsy and has been for decades. Plenty of bigotry and racism is still pointed towards people of that ethnic group regardless of their skin colour. If you're going to post nonsense you could at least do the 15 seconds of research it would take to make sure your nonsense has any basis.

As for the other ongoing discussion, I seem to recall hearing that SR7 had already been poked by WB to stop making SU years ago and the response was to make a minor changes to the logo and name of the project and then claim parody and apparently that was enough. Whether that's true or not I don't know, but parody gets you out of a lot of shit in western media.

Sorry all, I've been working 16+ hour days for the last couple of weeks and what was meant to be a light hearted response came across a little hard in the paint.

Not all Western media, because not all Western media has the 1st Amendment (although copyright technically has its own section in the Constitution). Try doing parody in Great Britain, might be surprised how it turns out differently (although still better than most other countries). But it also generally isn't criminalized, it's mostly civil (as in, money trades hands, not doing some time). There is that criminal FBI stuff also, but that is primarily concerned with copying/distributing the exact thing copied FOR PROFIT, not something that has slightly changed and has at least some marginal "artistic" value...

WB prolly sent a cease-and-desist letter, SR7 (which ain't even Sunset Riders anymore) changed whatever bare minimum they could, and WB stopped caring since Google wouldn't spit out search results anymore that involves the words "Justice" and "Unlimited" (or "League" for that matter). Because if SR7 didn't... they would be on the hook for something like 500K+ minimum in damages PLUS court costs PLUS lawyer fees (which are also not cheap); pretty easy slam dunk case, both judge and jury should decide the same thing (that it's copyright infringement not excused by fair use, pay up you lazy copying sack of ass).

It should also be noted that he wasn't always romani. He was made romani by Devin Grayson bc she has a fetish for romani men. She also self inserted into Tarantula who raped Nightwing in her comic.
