Landonio 06/04/18 7:16:16 PM #1:	How do streamers get away with using famous people's likenesses as emotes? They're definitely not getting permission. And use of the emote is not free. You have to pay the streamer to use them. I could be wrong, but how is that not lawsuit-worthy? I don't get it. --- atpRtsd LOOK HERE, LOOK LISTEN! <cite>Landonio posted [p:902551672] in Something ...

Airhammy 06/04/18 11:50:33 PM #6:	It's mostly due to certain copyrights. I've seen a couple streamers who couldn't submit particular cartoon or video game based emotes for that reason. A person's face likely doesn't apply. --- http://air-hammer.deviantart.com/ <cite>Airhammy posted [p:902566612] in Something ... [t:76674659]...</cite> <quote>It's mostly due to certain copyrights.

You have to pay the streamer in order to use them. Couldn't that person easily attempt to sue? Or get them with some sort of legal implication? --- atpRtsd LOOK HERE, LOOK LISTEN! <cite>Landonio posted [p:902566938] in Something ...

Airhammy 06/05/18 12:07:52 AM #8:	I'm not sure. Copyright is a funny thing. I see plenty of people online who create fanart of copyrighted characters and sell prints, but then you consider fan-made video games and roms which can't be sold. --- http://air-hammer.deviantart.com/ <cite>Airhammy posted [p:902567444] in Something ...
