Jesus fucking Christ, I make a Kill Bill v1 comment and you suddenly decide to rebrand for the likes? Saaaaad

Haha last post was a shit title. And Kill Bill is obv what Im referencing, so its not like you gave me the idea.

I mean, they commented it, you deleted the post, then reposted it with this... Sure seems like they did.

True

So they did...?

No. Not that it matters though.

Clearly it did to them, and you if it was true.

Blocked for a simple observation, alright then. Maybe it was true 🤷‍♂️

Never cross a man and his NEED for karma

Is Mario getting a fighting game?

Oh boy can't wait for the r34

Not in a million years, Nintendo would never show his character with such violence

Why are you upset about this? You gave them a better idea for a title and they used it. What's wrong with that?

Their denial of attribution

Attribution is noise.

She can do anything.

Smash bros

Not to an original author. Lack of attribution is plagiarism, an unethical act. To say nothing of OP denying this when questioned.

> Lack of attribution is plagiarism, an unethical act.

Depends wholly on context. Should parody have to attribute? No.

Further, your definition is wrong. Plagiarism is a form of fraud. Lack of attribution alone is not fraud. You have to affirmatively claim the work as your own.

Sure, parody's different, and public domain isn't covered by copyright so it's not like laws are being broken, but to have the original commenter show up here & OP deny attribution to their face seems like ethical misconduct.

Edit: Also this is clearly not a parody of the comment, it's a rip of the comment.

Regarding your edit concerning plagarism, I would direct you to the Wikipedia entry on attribution:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribution_(copyright)

> a work in the public domain, which is any not covered by copyright, has no such attribution requirement... this is the distinguishing factor between plagiarism, which is not a crime, but an unethical act, and copyright infringement, which may be a cause of legal action from the author.

A comment obviously has no copyright attached to it, but it is still a work in the public domain, and claiming it as one's own is the clinical definition of plagarism.

Edit: Also this is clearly not a parody of the comment, it's a direct rip of the comment.

Im going to be frank with you, i have very dim view of current ip law, copyright in particular, so I am generally unsympathetic to those that leverage these systems. Its a whole lot of concern over very first world problems. We would be more artful if we abolished copyright altogether, given our current technological point in time.

Thanks for that. I'm of the view that copyright systems, and many other legal systems, imperfectly reflect morality and people should try to follow the ethical spirit of these systems even in situations where they're absent. But your perspective is definitely a valid lens as well.

For the right price

So this screen is from Smash Bros?

No, but you asked if mario was getting a fighting game when he's been in one for over 20 years.
