When you go to apply/work for Disney,there's a section where you have to agree to "every idea that you have that's Disney related is copyrighted to us. And you will get no credit if we use it."

Wondering. HOW IS THAT FAIR????

Beyond that, anything that you pen at Disney offices/on Disney property (aka letterhead paper) also belongs to them

God, it's like Zach is the smart, crafty goblin, and Stamper is just the absolute mongoloid, drooling comic relief. I've listened to literally every sleepycabin podcast, and I've never once heard him have anything useful to say. Still love every member though, and definitely miss it.

They say Cory is the autist but atleast he's likable. Listening to Stamper is infuriating.

14:18 I never caught it before, but "(Citizen Kane is) very Point A to Point B" is one of the falsest statements I've ever heard him say. He probably means it in the sense that the movie doesn't drag its feet, that it's always moving to the next thing - which is true. Given how long I recall it being, I'm glad of it - but "Point A to Point B" is _not_ something you'd ever say about that movie. Time skips forward and back all over the place as the Newshound finds his different sources & goes through them.

Last night I curled up in a blanket with some Woodford Reserve and then watched Stamper's Peewee Herman dub and snorted so hard from laughter the bourbon burned more coming back up tha it did going up.

Copyright is automatic. If you make something original, you automatically own the copyright to it. The difference is in the terms. You can license your copyright under CC0 and make it public domain, or you can grab a lawyer and draft up a document that tells other people under what conditions you will allow them to use your copyrighted work. E.g. you have to pay me a million dollars and you can only play it on Tuesdays, but not Tuesdays when it's a full moon, and you can only make a vocal cover of it if you're doing an impression of Barack Obama while singing, and you can only listen to it through a lowpass filter. Your terms _can_ be ridiculous and unfair, but obviously you want to use terms that are legal, enforceable, and sensible. If you put in your EULA that you get to bang the user's wife every time they play your game, that won't hold up in a court of law lol. A trademark is for a name, and they're used to help avoid market confusion. So if there's an existing company that makes toilet paper called Angel Soft, then you can't make a product called Angel Soft whose function is to clean the user's asshole. But you _can_ (in theory) make a _blanket_ called Angel Soft, because people don't generally wipe their asses with their blankets, so you're serving a separate and unrelated market. In reality, Angel Soft would probably send a C&D knowing that they have no legal standing but confident that you'll be scared off by the prospect of an expensive lawsuit _that you would totally win_ ...but can you afford it? This is why Spooky's House of Jumpscares (the First Person horror game) and Ion Maiden (the retro style First Person Shooter) got sued by some random german company and the corporate fuckos in charge of Iron Maiden (the metal band). IMO this should count as trademark trolling and should be outlawed. Although the band uses their trademark, their legal claim is not applicable since it's a metal band vs a video game, and they are well aware of that fact, yet they sue anyway because they're greedy and opportunistic.

it wasnt netflix's fault. its the people that own sunny moved it to hulu because they pay more.
