i watched s1 like years ago, and it was something

...but why.

At least it's not a remake lel

Not looking forward to it thanks to family members making things miserable

The joke is KH3's lack of acknowledgement of past FF character interactions.

besides seifer

who went of on some journey and they built a wall around the sandlot between 2 and 3

inb4 reshoots on that too

[insert political joke here]

Question: so if someone did a “fandub” and does not credit or ask for permission from the company, say square enix and Disney, and then continues to do it despite that fandubs are technically fine unless uploaded on a money making platform such as YouTube and they have a patreon supplying bonus cash is what they are doing still fine? Is it fine for them to continue despite what they are doing is wrong? And when someone speaks the truth about what they have done and they threaten to Dox you is that okay? Because people have called them out and they threaten them all the time. It’s sickening.

that is very much not okay

they need to give credit to the original sources somewhere in their production

they can keep the patreon cause it's not like square or disney says don't do this but, their actions on being called out are not okay

I have a friend who works for Square and they said it’s illegal as long as they are getting money

And they keep doing these unauthorized dubs

well then

Yeah... it’s just a sad thing they are doing. Profiting off of their product

i'm sure SE and Disney are big enough to take care of them themselves if they care at all

lol tell that to nintendo

Is this a straightforward fandub or is it satirical?

Satire is the loophole for using other people creations

It is. Because that technically makes it fair use.

Yep!

You can satire mickey mouse and it would be legal

Copyright is an easier hurdle to overcome than people think. Sometimes, just talking about a game over footage of it can be enough.

Yeah cause they see that as free advertising

The only thing with games you gotta worry about are songs that are copyrighted

KH is famous for this

But that is reasonable

The creator of the song can do whatever they wish with it

Unless you're actually talking about the song itself; which...to be honest...is still kind of a gray area. The jury is still out on whether that's actually legal or not.

Yeahh, music is heavily guarded lol

Tbh tho if I was Utada or Yomomura I do the sams
