Konqi is using multiple screens to increase productivity!

Konqi is carrying books filled with the other Konqi threads we already had on here!

Konqi is a very qt and professional maskot.

Konqi explains the math!

Fucking furries ruin everything

Konqi is not furry, and he's NOT for lewding!

An ass like that can't avoid the lewding.

Don't lewd Konqi! He has a girlfriend, Katie! Her name sounds like KDE!

Konqui eats shit - confirmed info

>implying she doesn't cuck him out of sex everyday

Konqi eats GIMP peppers! Katie is pure and loyal!

>she

Katie is a girl! The wiki page says so!

>girls
There is no such thing as a girl, there are only traps and men pretending to be women

She doesn't have to pretend! Konqi did the science to find out the truth! Also I'm out of Katie arts!

If he truly did find out the truth he wouldn't even have a gf in the first place :^)

There are no lewds yet.

Why?

Koqie (cock-eee) is not for lewds!

...

Dubs comfirm I'm for lewding.

Trips confirm I'm cheating with Konqi.

Fuck!

Both konqi and katie are sacred and never for lewding

Aw fuck, this thread again

Konqi encourages you to make the art you want to see!

Don't you dare, konqi is not for sexual and neither is katie

ok

Gonna be tough on a phone.

you can do it, user!

Admit it, you opened this thread because you want more Konqi and Katie R34.

No, Konqi needs more cute and pure arts of him and Katie and sometimes Kiki doing cute things! Unfortunately, my art skills are lacking...

I tried to draw these two a while back. But it was far far too terrible to even share.

I'm sure it's not as bad as you think, user~

You drew this yourself? I like your style.

Konqie and katie should get their own anime

Not mine, but it was my request in the drawthread we had. I linked to the post; it's still up.

So if I can't access the website, and therefore, cannot verify the validity of the artistic license, does that mean I can post this shit without a hyperautistic reposting the same copypasta over and over while eating tendies and drinking choccy milk? Seriously, there's no justification for having not!cloudflare blocking access to your site.

>being naked under the apron
(｡>﹏

This entire thread is a sad dumpster fire. I feel bad for anyone who unironically enjoys this furry shit.

It's cute and pure, you just don't get it

>does that mean I can post this shit
No. Absent the license, you have no rights to do anything with the work barring a limited subset of "fair use," of which fan art isn't a part.

What's a Konqui?

>Reposting artwork without modification for non-commercial use on a weeaboo imageboard for the purpose of shitposting and not claiming to be the author doesn't fall under the umbrella of "fair use"
Moreover, this would be a non-issue if they just didn't have meme cloudflare in front of their site blocking me for using uMatrix, as if the KDE website has enough notoriety to justify having DDOS protection. You literally cannot justify this shit.

There is a four factor test[1] judges use to consider on a case-by-case basis whether or not the use of the work is considered "fair." It turns out "noncommercial" isn't an automatic pass. This is specifically *why* we have the CC licenses: to permit people to repost these images. The only requirement is attribution[2].

>You literally cannot justify this shit.
I can't, so I don't, and I agree with you.

[1]which I won't repost here to limit the extent of this sperg-out.
[2]and sharealike, which only applies if you were going to create a derived work (read: fanart)

>There's a four-factor test
>But I'm not going to post it
Then it doesn't exist. Burden of proof lies with you, not me.

>The only requirement is attribution
Then put it in the image and specify that you modified it to include the license instead of avatarfagging and signaturefagging. It's an imageboard, it's meant for sharing images, not having copypasted text longer than the post itself just to prove a point literally nobody gives a fuck about. It's like if you wanted help with programming, posted a three-line snippet of code, and included the entire GPL preamble with it. If you insist on pointing out "hey this is whatever the fuck license btw", rather than just letting it be implicit and attributed at the source, at least put it in the image so that an entire thread doesn't end up more signature than post like this one is.
Oh wait, I forgot where I was, nevermind.

And because I'm already lowering myself to arguing with an autist, here you go
>Includes the license and copyright information without having to clutter up the contents of the post
>Allows the end user to retrieve the original image by loading up an editor and cropping themselves
>Doesn't make you look like Technology Hei
It's not like anyone at the KDE Project really gives a fuck that Anonymous User 62300923 is posting pictures of their image without attribution, and even if they did, there's more to lose than gain trying to litigate it, but if you're going to be a tremendous cunt on the remote chance your kawaii uguu 2d furry lizard thing descends from the heavens to take you to /trash/ heaven and fuck your brains out until your balls are empty, you do it like this.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go kill myself for putting a non-zero amount of effort into this.

>Then it doesn't exist.
copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html
>avatarfagging
This thread is about Konqi, so I'm posting Konqi.
>signaturefagging
LEGALLY REQUIRED copyright notices are not signatures, and the only times I posted them are when a new artist or a new character was posted.
>not having copypasted text longer than the post itself
The post itself, since this is an imageboard, is the image being posted. The text COMMENT field is 2000 characters long. That means that the COMMENT (as in NOT the image) is capped at 2kb. Unless the image (the ACTUAL POST) is under 2kb, the comment will never be longer than the image.
>It's like if you wanted help with programming, posted a three-line snippet of code, and included the entire GPL preamble (sic) with it.
If you're asking for help with someone else's program, then, legally, you're required to have permission. If this permission is granted with the condition that you include a copy of the GPL with every copy, then that's what you must do.
However, there is a concept of "de minimis" which permits tiny amounts of a copyrighted work to be used absent permission, which 3 lines of probably your own work would most likely be.
>ugly pink bar reminiscent of ifunny
Great job ruining user's work (which you are legally allowed to do).
Not only that, you didn't even do it right.
Konqi and Katie the characters are copyrighted by Tyson Tan, not the KDE Project. The lineart was done by anonymous. The color was done by someone demanding to be attributed as "Xx_ToastMaster_xX." You didn't attribute anyone correctly, so fix it, and see how huge your ugly pink bar gets.

>Purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes:
Nonprofessional use as a throwaway image for the purpose of expressing an emotion
>Nature of the copyrighted work
Published artwork of a mascot for a free software project, as opposed to a technical work.
>Amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
Depends on how many reaction images you want to post and how often, I guess, but this probably relates more to clips of a movie than the whole of a body of artwork regarding a fictional dragon mascot. Regardless, any single given post using such an image would be using 1/S images of the body of work, where S is the sum of all images of that character.
>Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work
Unless you're working to actively disparage the KDE project or author, the effect is zero.

Looks like fair use to me. If you want to be that stingy, go get a law degree and work for the MPAA or RIAA.

>you didn't even do it right
I can't do it right when I can't open the website to research the original information because it's behind DDOS protection and requires me to fill out even more reCAPTCHA than I'm already comfortable doing to begin with.

>reminiscent of ifunny
Tall words coming from someone who posts copypasta as a nuiscance to others that post his precious waifu and husbando. But, if you insist, try this on for size.

Stop this autism and post more Konqi.

Wait, this autist posts the copyright shit unironically? I thought it was just some fancy shitposting.

> implying that posting Konqi images isn't a sign of autism
cute.

Also stop it with these threads already! >:(

I like these threads but I don't use KDE.

You don't see /vp/ putting copyright marks on every single post with a Pokemon; and Sup Forums hasn't been shut down for that, so stop with this turboautism already.

Factor 1:
>Courts look at how the party claiming fair use is using the copyrighted work, and are more likely to find that nonprofit educational and noncommercial uses are fair. THIS DOES NOT MEAN, however, THAT ALL NONPROFIT EDUCATION AND NONCOMMERCIAL USES ARE FAIR and all commercial uses are not fair; instead, courts will balance the purpose and character of the use against the other factors below.
Uses that are likely to be seen as "fair" are those which transform the work in order to make a statement about the work itself, its author, or the subject of the work. "Shitposting for the sake of shitposting" is NOT considered to be fair.

Factor 2:
>This factor analyzes the degree to which the work that was used relates to copyright’s purpose of encouraging creative expression. Thus, USING A MORE CREATIVE OR IMAGINATIVE WORK (such as a novel, movie, or song) IS LESS LIKELY TO SUPPORT A CLAIM OF A FAIR USE THAN USING A FACTUAL WORK.
That's two factors against you already, and there are only four factors to consider.

Factor 3:
>Under this factor, courts look at both the quantity and quality of the copyrighted material that was used. IF THE USE INCLUDES A LARGE PORTION OF THE COPYRIGHTED WORK, FAIR USE IS LESS LIKELY TO BE FOUND;
You're posting the entire image with no modifications whatsoever, not even at a lower resolution.

Factor 4:
>In assessing this factor, courts consider whether the use is hurting the current market for the original work (for example, by displacing sales of the original) and/or whether the use could cause substantial harm if it were to become widespread.
Here we have someone posting the entirety of the image without following the terms of the license. If this user doesn't have to follow it, why does anyone? Why can't I take Konqi, make a high budget feature-length film around Konqi's adventures in KDE Valley, infest it full of DRM and sue anyone who "pirates" it? THIS is what's at stake here. I'm out of characters, or I'd continue.

I like them. It's a welcome break from the AMD/Intel/screenfetch threads.

When I first saw this thread, I was kind of worried that the novelty of Konqi threads would wear off as a consequence of their abundance, but I think the user who is unironically feeding into the clearly self-deprecating license shitposts totally revitalized this thread. I imagine future full of Konqi threads and superfluous, misguided (albeit well-intentioned) license shitposting to a caliber that we've yet to witness in the /fglt/ threads, and it's utterly wonderful.

...

>superfluous, misguided (albeit well-intentioned) license shitposting to a caliber that we've yet to witness in the /fglt/ threads
I don't tend to sperg out often, but the misconceptions about "fair use" are evidently my trigger.

Please don't lewd Katie, she is too pure for this slander.

cool mascot

literally the worst DE ever made

(I was kidding with this last post i find it quite amusing desu :p )

KDE is professional and stylish!

thanks for delete

>Has never seen an argument in his life.
I'm fucking gone.

Bump for the real Konqi.

>new enough to include the mediagoblin goblin (I don't remember his name)
>still using old Konqi
Someone should make an updated Konqi model!

Old konqi a shit

Old Konqui is the best, fuck furfags

>Konqi cooking meth.

not enough Katie

not enough Kate bird, for RMS

Konqi is chasing bugs to make KDE even more polished and secure!

...

cute

I'm about to head home and might finish a coloring of someone's line art they did for me. If the thread's still up by then, I'll post it.
