I have several. I'd even consider being the second tiny terror...or ML if anything happens.

I know I'm old & have CRS (can't remember stuff) but I could have sworn there was a thread on here about Copyright information last night. Am I wrong? I had new stuff to add.

moved and split I believe

could be wrong, but it's around here, I swear

I think it was in the lounge which is cannot be viewed by the public. I thought the topic was very important so I moved it so that it can be viewed by the public. I think there is a shadow thread in the lounge that'll take you to where the thread is at.

Thank you sir.

You're welcome Ma'am

lol, Or the next ACE! Or ACE WATCH! or NITE DIAMOND!

I wonder what kind of legal difficulty one could get in by donning a comic character persona. I mean, if someone became a real life Batman, why couldn't he take that name and - as long as he is anonymous - it seems it would be mighty difficult to prove infringement. After all you aren't selling a creative work - you could argue that it is a fan based derivative which copyright laws allow - and no civil proceeding would be able to easily prove that the efforts of the individual - if they were to be successfully brought to trial - caused any confusion of the trademark. If anything it would be drawing additional attention to the franchise.

Just musing.

Realistically, I do not think one can go about acting as Batman without eventually getting caught and arrested for vigilantism. By that time your identity will be known.

Your actions will also draw a negative light towards comic books in general, as now parents and other worry-warts will think that comic book reading, moreso for Batman comics, is the direct cause towards making people think they can be "superheroes" (in the sense of actual comic book superheroes). I'm willing to bet DC will have none of that and just throw a defamation suit for imputations "injurious to another in their trade, business, or profession," or possibly under allegations of criminal activity if it can go that far.

Just my two cents.

You can operate as Batman if you like.

However one of the cornerstones of the RLSH culture is creating your own persona rather than to rely on the repuation of a franchised fictional character.

There's another thread on here about Copyrighting someplace. Maybe Zeta can find it? I "wrote the book" (or at least got all the info) for getting your likeness copyrighted. I've had one for years, but I also have copyrights on scripts, characters etc. so I had a head start.

I used to hear "I'm Batman" a lot. But then I was saying stuff too. (don't ask, it's ridiculous)

Lessons in history: I used to be Guerrilla G-Rodd. Cease and desist ended that.
