jokes on him, infowars doesn't exist.
>he thinks he owns memes
This truly is a clown world.
Alex pays 100,000 a month in child support. That’s like 20 dollars to him.
They lost more than they got
Pewdiepie and Alex Jones should be a warning to any wannabe internet personality from harvesting content from the channels. It may be an easy source of content, but it will bite you in the ass eventually.
Are memes being copyrighted now?
You have to add the copyright
$15,000? Some victory.
POST PEPES
He can find their mailing addressing on their iTunes ap... I mean their Google store ap... I mean their Youtu... I mean their website, just googl... oh never mind.
Did he sell Pepe T-shirts?
Poor Alex
Half that after his first Jewish wife divorced him.
It's about punishing the filter lord.
My grand total wealth is barely 100k-150k euros
So 5 mil dollas seems enough.
who the fuck is being credited as the pepe creator?
>$15000
wow big money watch out
Do you win a settlement or do you just settle when you originally asked for 2 million?
15k is nothing to Alex why is this news
As long as you change the original art than you wont be liable for copyright infringement.
$15k is nothing to me and I'm a literal who programmer.
Matt furie or something.
But copyright expires a while after the creator dies. So basicly hes putting a target on his head just for the nazis to pray to their frog god.
Eager to see how this plays out.
NOW IM NOT SAYING TO EXECUTE MATT FURIE, BUT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED FOR LESS
Strangely this
they spent over a million dollars litigating and were looking for 1.5Mill, they got fucking raped
This is a great idea
kek
DO IT!
DONT EXECUTE MATT FURIE SO THE COPYRIGHT EXPIRES FOR FUCK SAKES POL
What? What's your salary?
I mean it's not a lot but it's still quite a bit for the average Joe.
What the fuck
it's called death of the author
dude wasn't crying when Jow Forums abused it circa 2010
The judge told Furie that he wouldn't get more than $14,000. The $15,000 is the usage fee.
lmao how is he gonna collect the moron. Infowars is gone already. I hate the courts that virtue signal like this.
uh... what?
The interesting thing is that the pepe used by infowars was a drawing made by someone else, so it was creative license type thing. Like when rap songs sample other songs and make a new song. The recent honk pepe is not Furie's.
Honk honk!
Alex Jones is worth 9 million
The minute the kegacy media realized Infowars was getting more viewers than they did, they started coming after him.
This is also why youtube is being shoahed
this sets a dangerous precedent for us boys
He should be happy that Jow Forums refurbished his work same with Ben Garrison because it's the only reason he got popular in the first place. At the beginning it was just making fun of that gay comic until it developed a life of it's own.
Its not even the same cartoon character tho. They look completely different and /ourpepe/ is actually Kek and belong to no one.
want to invest in my conservative think tank start up?
right? it was sadfrog for the longest time. people didn't even know the source
HAHAHAHAH AT ALL THE ARMCHAIR LAWYER FAGGOTS HERE WHO SAID MATT HAS NO CASE AND THAT HE CANT SHUT ANYBODY DOWN EVERY TIME I SAID HE WILL WIN
DURRR HURRR ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TELL MATT TO FUCK OFF BRO
Fuck off, Matt.
You cant copyright a god
Praise Kek
Damn it!
Fine!, we will use Pepe''s hot sister instead.
Could the Chrono Trigger artist sue Matt Furie?
how was it proven he was the creator of Pepe?
or just use Awoo
fucking lmao if true
Reminder that the left used to be for rolling back copyright terms to 7 years
Reminder that law prof Lawrence Lessig was the leftist anti-copyright champion who argued against copyright before the Supreme Court
Reminder that to the left, anti-copyright was anti-corporate
Reminder that the left became pro-copyright when Disney adopted the rainbow flag
When Matt comes after Jow Forums, it will be a banable offense to post pepe
Furie thinks he has a copyright for all frog cartoon and the name pepe too.
Jones needs a better lawyer tho seriously.
Kek will curse Furie once again you’ll see
Pepe isn't some mysterious meme that came out of nowhere. It's literally a character from furie's webcomic that Jow Forums repurposed.
>Jones needs a better lawyer tho seriously.
>$15k settlement
He already has a good lawyer, that's a fucking amazing deal for Jones.
172k Senior Systems Programmer for a government agency.
I also put $20k into bitcoin in 2014, so I'm doing pretty well.
Got redrawn and renamed. It's like saying Howard the Duck is based on Donald Duck.
What's more relevant is that he virtually released the character to the public domain in one interview, where he said he was fine with anyone profiting off it.
He is. You can engage in sophistry by pointing out there are other, earlier frog characters called Pepe, but the fact is that the meme originates from Jow Forums discovering his dumb comic Boy's Club which is basically about a bunch of NEET animals, pic related.
I’m pretty sure you lose the rights to intellectual property like pepe if it becomes adopted by the public at large, don’t you?
No, I may be doing well for myself, but that doesn't mean I want to throw my money away.
Everything posted on 4chinz falls under acceptable use, faggot.
You do you and keep sucking Matt's dick though.
Not just using the more based and not Pepe, Groyper.
>won
Lmao. It would have cost way more than $15K to litigate this shit. This just shows that the faggot cartoonist didn’t have a case and the Infowars legal team threw him a bone just to make this shit go away.
keep Pepe pure!
Kys faggot you know nothing
lel
>MUH OC DONUT STEEL
Its still an injustice.
Kek is not the furie character.
>Before taking legal action, Furie had hoped that the Nazi-infused iteration of Pepe memes was “just a phase,” he told The Washington Post in September 2016...
Kek !
Wrong. Matt has a long list of victories. Alex Jones is another notch on his belt.
Checked, so close
So?
PLaying damage control now? Matt Furie will continue to win this lawsuits
You eventually lose trademarks if you fail to defend them against unauthorised use.
"Intellectual property" is kind of a jewy term you should probably avoid, it's often used to mislead by mixing together different areas of law.
>Captcha is "select all statues"
>They're all ugly abstract jewish abominations
He wanted $2M from this lawsuit. Let me know when he gets even 10% of that.
So who got the money anyway? Did the 15k go to his lawyers, did they work pro bono? Who pays the legal fees?
Reminder that the left doesn't exist in any real sense in American politics and liberals and conservatives are constantly trying to expand and extend copyright laws under order of their kike masters
depends on how much its changed, and why
but just putting a funny hat on pepe wouldn't change it enough, unless it was sufficient to alter the underlying idea and become a satirical commentary
Dear Matt,
Go fuck yourself.
Thanks.
Honk Honk
>copyright expires a while after the creator dies
its 70 years after the death of the artist.
for works made for hire (i.e. employee makes work for a corporation), its 95 years from creation.
older works have different standards that apply
I didn’t mean to kill your son Kek please forgib me I wish it Matt
ftfy
Garbage ass topic.
Furie spent close to a million dollars fighting Jones in court. So he lost all that fucking money.
>$15000
I'm half glad they settled but wish it went to court, this is only sort of good for meme culture because the grey area of artists publicly saying they're ok with it is still around.
you're thinking of trade secrets, like the recipe for Coca Cola.
That doesn't apply to copyrights or patents, those are enforceable as long as their term is in effect
Indeed!
Pretty sure you're a retard who doesn't understand how copyrights work.
Like the rest of the thread. So much ignorance, in one thread.
It did go to court retard. They settled for 15K did you not read
There is no legal concept called "acceptable use", retard.
You have to be 18 to post here.
It's fine for him receive fair licensing fees for the *commercial* use of a character that he basically created, at least in the tame safe-for-work context InfoWars was using it. But the play here was clearly a test case for the (((SPLC))) and friends to shut down our memes via lawfare, and they've been comprehensively btfo. To date their only true success is that the Daily Stormer hasn't been able to use pepe for a while, pending the outcome of the tortious interference nuisance lawsuit they've filed against them.
>glow in the dark
Lawyers are doing it for free. He gives all the money he wins to organizations like CAIR. The lawsuit proves no site or person is safe from illegally using pepe without Matt's permission
How did he become so rich?
>lawyers and judges knowing anything about fair use
:^)
