The disclaimer is to make it clear that while GS Games IS aware of this project, they have not commissioned it and are not involved in it. Note that the community SU port project was specifically referenced in the GS Games twitch stream podcast a few days ago. Smokeshank pretty much figures that, like similar efforts before this one, it won't go anywhere... (Challenge accepted?). We aren't monetizing this and have no plans to monetize it, it's just a community effort, for free.does this make it illegal?
what the fucks a buccaneer?And you DO realize that this is a buccaneer forum, right?
pretty sure themysicira is gonna have some lewd content in it, not just cranky dialogue from the amazons.so Themyscira gets three scenes... all of which are just amazons being cranky at Lex when he enters an area."
buccaneer /ˌbʌkəˈnɪə/, noun: buccaneer; plural noun: buccaneers: a pirate, originally one operating in the Caribbean. "the marauding buccaneers who used to terrorize the Mediterranean coasts"what the fucks a buccaneer?

the use of "parody" in this case is transformative. It's reasonably safe to say that DC would never produce or authorize porn content. It has even gone as far as saying there cant even be the suggestion that Batman goes down on Catwoman.Do you realize that SU itself is illegally violating copyright laws?
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.Do you realize that SU itself is illegally violating copyright laws?
This makes me wonder to what extent companies like Disney or DC know about porn parodies made of their IP but either don't care or view it as free marketing. Surely Disney knows that people are constantly making porn out of their characters, but I suspect the reason they don't sue or issue cease and desist letters is because the publicity of "family friendly" Disney suing over porn is more damaging to their image than the porn itself.the use of "parody" in this case is transformative.

There's been porn parodies for years now, even that Aquaman movie got its own porn parody iirc. Also there's "rumour" about how Disney at one point, might still today, have a clause in their contract that gives them ownership of anything the artists they employ make during their contract, and many of those artists draw porn of their own characters. So according to the rumour there's boxes upon boxes of drawn porn of classic Disney characters that they own and keep hidden.This makes me wonder to what extent companies like Disney or DC know about porn parodies made of their IP but either don't care or view it as free marketing.

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.

This work doesn't actually use it's own version of anything from the Justice League TV show (ie, it uses the same models of characters even if drawn by someone else), so it actually probably isn't quite transformative enough. Whereas a porno starring porn stars that nominally look like the intended character but ISN'T the same thing would be significantly more transformative. But that's up to a judge and/or jury to decide (depends on how far the lawsuit gets, one side usually wants the judge and the other wants the jury; this also would vary depending on the legal system).There's been porn parodies for years now, even that Aquaman movie got its own porn parody iirc.

I'll assume they know and are only concerned when it starts messing with their actually pocket book and online presence via SEO, ad traffic and click through.This makes me wonder to what extent companies like Disney or DC know about porn parodies made of their IP but either don't care or view it as free marketing.

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 sjwsBut they didn't stop Nightwing from being raped in the comics by his stalker?
