About the Katawa Shoujo Team
They forbid you from making a fan-game even if you do not use their assets (they can't enforce that legally but whatever)[3][4] and yet their own characters were copies of characters in a hentai mango[0], in fact the name they use is not even their own[1]. Not to mention that one of the creators shit-talks about the GPL.[2]
In fact they are not aware of their own license (again [4]),
-"Modifying the game to include voices without official permission is also against our license" (it is not against BY-NC-ND as long as you are not distributing the modificated game)
-"You may not use Katawa Shoujo for any commercial purposes, including making money out of distributing the game or any fanworks." (BY-NC-ND does not restrict fanworks)
-"Specifically, we have a dislike for reverse engineering the game to extract the music, art or scripts, which is in breach of this license." (again wrong)

Now, considering this, how are the anons at the "Alpha Restoration" project supposed to do their project without a shitstorm being summoned or legality being an issue?

whoah...so this...is the power... of autism....

>Now, considering this, how are the anons at the "Alpha Restoration" project supposed to do their project without a shitstorm being summoned or legality being an issue?

Do you think a bunch of shitposters on Veeky Forums will bother paying for any sort of legal battle? Nothing will happen to the project.

No user, this is autism: boards.fireden.net/vg/thread/126446149/#126506072

C&Ds are fairly standard when protecting intellectual property.

Lilly teabags?

I agree, having a link to the archive for a specific post from last year where a random person says lilly teabags were told to stop is pretty autistic.

>Alpha Restoration
What is this??

The project to make the game's grimdark edgy alpha complete.

This is the correct answer.
But I'm not surprised to see the KS devs getting mad anyways

add to the list of angry KS dev posts too

Sending a C&D to someone using a character for condoms or teabags targeted at a certain fanbase (in fact, of a character you didn't even design) is NOT "protecting intellectual property". It is denying the rights of the customers to buy whatever they want.

>intellectual property
Please, read the following
gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.en.html#IntellectualProperty
gnu.org/philosophy/not-ipr.en.html
gnu.org/philosophy/no-ip-ethos.en.html

Anyhow, unless they used an image someone else made and was not licensed appropriately it is not a violation of any "rights", even if they used the exact character (as it is not trademarked).

Why would a KS Dev attack the Alpha? Its not exactly a rare opinion for someone to think the Alpha routes were bad.

I hope I can be as autistic as you someday senpai

Do you actually think anyone's falling for that Look, 2 (You)s, technically 3 if you include that one
4

Taking down a project is as simple as sending a DMCA, be it valid or not.

Why did Suriko do all these horrid things? Why did Hanako have to suffer?

I can post biased links too and they use the actual legislation.

4ls have done enough with the KS cast and made them unique enough that they're covered by law, they don't need to spend that many resources as they know their opposition will be shitposters and fanboys who will cave at the first sign of legal pressure regardless of how valid it is

>Repeating Digits Edition
While I regret that I wasn't able to make my 8-Bit Comfort Edition, this thread title is actually kind of clever, if unrelated to the picture. 7/10

Don't scare him off too quickly, he's got lots of good new material for the collage

>he keeps talking about how he totally would shut it down but he won't since all he can do is shitpost anonymously on Veeky Forums

I don't know if you noticed, but the "shitposters" in the scenario are the KS devs making posts like
and generally being mad that nobody falls for the Hanako route trap in the final

I swear this happens every day at the same time, around midnight BST someone starts shitposting and accusing everyone who disagrees of being Suriko.

Anyway, have a happy Katawa.

>shit, people started talking about me again
>better falseflag pretending to be someone else
Fuck off Suriko.

Actually, what happens is that Suriko comes in the thread and starts shitposting at midnight bst

fucking retard

I'm amazed people think they care that much. They don't need to spread shit about the legal system when they can just happily send a DMCA notice or cease and desist and get anyone to stop. This place has a retarded sense of self importance

I do not think you know how the law works, just because 4 people have done the majority of the work over the game they do not get any special rights on non-trademarked characters as well nor works they did not made in the whole (including the copyright of the whole project). Consider reading my previous posts for other abuse of their imaginary rights the KS devs did.

As for your links, I don't get your point. Yes, "IP" is protected by law, so what? It does not mean that it's not a term that you should avoid.

The real question is why has posted that message more than once when we already have the correct answer All the devs do nowadays is shitpost anonymously on Veeky Forums, they'll never actually do anything if/when their dmca gets ignored

When will this meme die, if you want "Suriko" to go away stop giving "him" attention and post about other things. You don't kill shitposters by giving them what they want.

>said Suriko as he shitposted again

And just why in the ever living fuck would I do something like that?

"he" is whatever KS dev is getting mad in this thread user

No one on Veeky Forums knows how copyright law works as actual lawyers who know what they're talking about don't post on threads about fucking crippled girls. That includes you

was meant for Not that I'm okay with Lilly being commercialised.

...

Whats it like knowing your sheer existence will make portions of /ksg/ buttmad forever?

Let's stop this silliness and post more happy katawas

>Suriko replying to himself without his tripcode
Nice try Suriko.

kek

Nonsense, its time for our daily suriko witch hunt and suriko shitposting

Sadly for you, superior /g/ posters (like me) do know how the copyright law works (for the most part).
My guess is that the KS devs made claims and restrictions while they had absolutely no idea of their "rights" because they are ignorant script-writing monkeys using shitty python engines instead of actual computer scientists.

Friendly reminder that the KS devs consider it a violation of their "rights" to commission drawing of your favourite katawa.

You do realise happy katawa guy is Suriko, right? Whenever the Surikoposting starts he's there trying to distract us from it.

Is that actually Suriko's trip? If yes, i have to apologize to butthurt-collage-maker-san, i never thought any of the devs would still visit this place.
This place is getting weirder by the day

>Sadly for you, superior /g/ posters (like me) do know how the copyright law works (for the most part).
If I may interject this is master satire.

>@Surikoo's Tweets are protected.
oh, no

it's been like that for a while actually

Its fun I've learned exactly what to say to upset /ksg/ and derail all discussion into "fuck off suriko", I'll be using "4ls has the right to defend their IP" in the future. Thanks lads.

Is it just me or does he normally pretend to have learned something about himself?
I feel like I've seen it before, much like how he always responds to himself saying that everyone else is shitposters

Yeah, but why derail this place? Let's just enjoy the comfy generals, there is no need to get all shitposty

Despite what some think, I honestly feel pretty indifferent about that. I'm just genuinely curious (and somewhat amused) as to why there's this huge conspiracy theory surrounding me and other members of 4LS.

Do you all realise the chapter of our lives marked 'Katawa Shoujo' ended 4 years ago? We give less of a shit about it than you think.

Because its fun and people will bite

>why there's this huge conspiracy theory surrounding me and other members of 4LS.
Because you are all huge faggots.

HANAKO WAS RAPED

But why? I still don't understand.

Hi Suriko, thank you for creating my favorite fictional character. I'm sorry if this place is an annoyance to you but I feel that this novel has changed my life for the better.

More happy katawas!

I think its mostly just used as an easy way to dismiss opinions people don't like, why bother trying to argue when you can post "fuck off suriko" and achieve the same thing

occam's razor

we could explain the travesty of hanako's route by using an extremely convoluted set of coincidences and accidental mistakes, or we can explain it as her replacement writer disliking her

>exactly 2 minutes after suriko's last post
Looks like was right!

Alright, i can't force you to change your ways and if you're having fun...
But please have in mind that you don't do it all the time so people can relax between all the shitosting. Don't wanna let /ksg/ die because of this

No, it did not end 4 years ago as you still harass people with your imaginary rights, restrictions and C&Ds for absolutely no reason.

Having /ksg/ die is a good thing though, any general that gets so upset at opinions is shit and doesn't deserve a space on the board.

Oh boy I can tell this is going to be a great thread.

Clearly your KS thing didn't end 4 years ago if that's what you think.

close, but backwards

arguments based on things like route quality often include a "fuck off suriko" and shitposters like himself strawman and pretend it's the only thing in the post

...

Check the timestamps bub, I'm not suriko

Not gonna bite, sorry.

Thank you for the kind words.

Probably because fuck off suriko invalidates your opinion as memery. If you want to criticise Hanako's route don't stick fuck off Suriko in your comment and people won't focus on that. Its really quite simple.

Confirmed shitposters like Suriko wouldn't respond to it anyways if it didn't have that, since they know they can't beat the arguments
It doesn't change anything

So why stick it in? Are you so desperate for (you)'s you'll turn the thread into shitflinging just for a reply you know will be a shitpost?

I really do mean it, even if this place is built around toxicity it is worth it having to experience the collective work you and the other members of 4ls produced. I hope that we can be able to freely discuss things in the future when people inevitably lose interest in shitposting. I hope you have a good day, sir.

Hanako was raped. And it was all your fault.

We can already do that when you know who isn't shoddily "defending" hanako's route

...

Its not built around toxicity, its just a few people coming in and shitposting because people bite.

JESUS CHRIST WHY THE FUCK WOULD IT NEED TO BE?

I'm so fucking sick of this "hanako wuz raped/shut up suriko" memery. We'll all be able to freely discuss when YOU faggots stop beating this dead horse.

Once again, if you ignore people they have nothing to reply to.

let me guess "there's nothing controversial about it"

...

Nice pic, but... enjoy your ban?

Yeah, because who cares if Hanako was raped.

naw.

I just want to thank you for adding Yuri to KS via Summers Clover, pure love is best love.

Not him but nothing there would get him banned.

Can't see anything nsfw.
