You're late bruh

this is now a rare pepe thread, post em
>sage this repeated slide anyways

The copyright ran out in 2016. He can't-do anything unless he updates the copyright, which wouldn't matter as it's already in the public domain. Old news, lurk more user.

I drew this today

Kinda sad that he didn't include Sup Forums. Maybe because he can't get any shekels from us.

Reminder: Matt Furie has authorized everybody to make and share Pepe memes. Just include #SAVEPEPE in your meme post so people know that your Pepe meme is authorized by Matt Flurie.

And to think this all started because trump posted a pepe meme and all of the faggots in the media and Hillary Clinton when full propaganda mode.

Also over a fucking cartoon frog. This is how you know these fucks are out of touch.

>save pepe
>killed pepe
These leftist faggots can't into causes for shit. I wonder how they even got this far in our current situation.

>Today I'm going to sue... The entire world
This cant go wrong at all.

Introducing "Transformative Fair Use" Pepe.

TFU Pepe has red lips, not green.
TFU Pepe has tri-pupils, not a single pupil.
TFU Pepe has distinctly human hands.
TFU Pepe makes political statements.

shame he's such a tard. i like his art though.

lurk moar
don't samefag
bad etiquette

>Trying to bleed a rock
lel

TFU Pepe should not be confused with original Pepe, which is copyrighted.

Do you find this offensive?

That's just for show. Holy shit, ever heard of "fair use"?

...

I want to see her fuck that bear.

Ain't nothing he can do

this will kill that stupid faggit in any court he somehow makes it into

...

Can copyright infringement be selective? If I was served for infringement and a lefty wasn’t, couldn’t I just point out that since the lefty is free to use the image why can’t I?

Furie has always been /ourguy/ notice hes not attacking Sup Forums. He doesnt like these fags trying to profit off Pepe(and thats all they care about) and thus is suing them rightfully so. I wouldnt like my creation being exploited for shekels either.

It does raise an important question.
I think IP is a terrible system, and should not exist.
But it currently exists, so where is the line in the sand, and who gets to draw it?

put his name with © logo on every pepe

noice

If this were disney or hanna barbera you wouldn't be batting an eye at this. He's a faggot but he invented the damn facebook frog.
Only newfags keep using it anyway.

>what is fair use

what a moron

he probably didn't even invent it

>who gets to draw it?
Disney & Mickey Mouse IP is a big player behind it, tbqh

Old billion dollar trust been pushing it's weight for decades. IP laws always getting re-newed conveniently around the time Mickey the Mouse would expire

>being this new

...

Is he trans yet?

Those fucking faggots are the reason why nothing new will expire into public domain until 2019.

...

the artist draws it

Fair use doesn't mean copying characters and profiting off of them. Otherwise, everybody would be making and selling Mario clones and Nintendo would be powerless to stop it.

Is this a picture of Pepe?

>are the reason why nothing new will expire into public domain until 2019
Don't worry, they'll change it once again in 2018 so it extends some more years, as per usual

>mfw bribing the government is more powerful than existing law

>when you od on them

>when you take the lead pill and go on an murderous rampage to clear the world of the enemy

This is the internet, we don't give a fuck about copyright claims here lol

You can't own ideas and art, you just can't. My brain contains thousands of copyright songs and pictures, what they gonna do illegalize my brain? Fuck copyright Jews

...

awooo

...

>take the lead pill
This should be what you should say to someone instead of "kys"

...

copyright =/= trademark

I feel like it'd be better. Example scenario is pic related

...

How dare they culturally appropriate our meme magic.

nintendo should sue for him using bulbasaur with an official hate symbol like pepe

>a frog named Pepe

>Files complaints for Copyright Infringement
>Willingly Infringes on Nintendo's Copyright by making a Pepe Pokemon Shirt

This guy has some fucking nerve. I'm surprised none of you pointed this out earlier.

I would have except I'm a complete moron

...

>putting pepe in place of a louis xvi
>mfw louis xvi actually shitposted so hard the people executed him

...

underrated

>not adopting another frog mascot instead

It is best not to give this faggot bitch any attention

Is the author just using the Streisand effect?

...

Fuck him?

HEIL PEPE
PRAISE KEK

I SINCERELY HOPE EVERY L'EDDITOR AND UTUBE KEK WHO DESECRATED HIS HOLINESS STEPS IN A FAT LOAD OF SHIT

Good luck with that. The meme has transcended the creator into something larger.

All the creator is doing is trying to make victim bucks for his own lazy ass.

He really can't do much about it. If the image in question is changed by 15%, and no money is being gained from it's use, it's out of copywrite jurisdiction. Pic related is a good example.

[To copyright owner of "socially awkward penguin©™," I am using this image as a tool for political commentary. I do not authorize the copying, saving, or "stealing" of this image. All other use of this image is strictly prohibited and criminals will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.]

He can only claim copyright on HIS drawing, everything else is owned by the people who made it. If the original work is modified its no longer his.

but no one used his exact pepe. how would that win?

someone needs to hack old mario roms with pepe sprites. go!

All custom pepes not from the original comic are transformative work. Therefore he doesn't own those, he only owns the original comic. Meaning he's flagging down fair use imagery.

>when you think blandly social signaling that you arent getting laid over and over is the coolest meme ever

Nobody uses the feels good man drawing anymore, every single pepe in circulation is fair use. What a pathetic faggot fury is, he must be getting pressured into this. No way he'd humiliate himself like this just for money. Probably he is a pedo.

Well they guy is a fucking idiot.

Just look at how he talks and looks! No respectable person would be anything remotely close to that freak of nature, and I'm being absolutely conservative with that statement btw.

I shit you not, I'm the guy that made that Bulbasaur Pepe edit. I posted it on r9k a few years back.

I've also made dozens of "peepee poopoo" and nazi edits when the initiative to take Pepe back from the normies was happening which makes Matt wearing that shit with my picture and protesting hateful fan edits kind of ironic.

This is truly the best timeline.

fixed. let's give the man some credit.

...

You should sue him.

Do you have the government anime waifu one? That's my favorite :]

I never thought disaster would be so beautiful

>So you made a comic of a frog named "Pepe" 10 years ago and you are suing because the defendant posted a comic of the "Pepe" wearing a Nazi costume?

That's the guy from Aphex Twin.

Surely this faggot crying will make shitposters stop? Right?

...

YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND, MATT

YOU DIDN'T CREATE PEPE

YOU MERELY AWAKENED HIM

Can any law fags tell chime in here? Is there any way we can argue that our Pepe is distinct from Matt's Pepe?

Our Pepe has its own personality and worldview, and we have literally made 30,000 or more distinct conservative Pepes.

Matt's Pepe is some stoner faggot.

Can we argue in court that our Pepe is the twin brother of Matt's Pepe?

...

I'm a big fan of classical pepes
