Yes, trademarks cover IP but does not document ownership of that IP. It was created specifically for marketing situations and applies almost exclusively to such in the U.S. system. The way you used the term initially, you were certainly thinking of copyright. This thread is not a great place for detailed discussion of trademark and copyright procedures, but it could be useful to creators on this site. I suggest starting a thread specifically for that.
You enter a discussion and proceed to have opinions not backed by basic knowledge on the subject. Then, when someone does something as simple as cite Wikipedia, you claim to know their mind and insist that they did not actually possess said knowledge. And you did all this in a thread full of artists, who presumably would have some familiarity with the subject.
How am I not worth people's time?
Alright...
Let's just move this... "friendly discussion" somewhere else.
Don't want the suthorities crashing down on this site.
As much as I want to see some people shed some light on the fine line between copyright and trademarks, I do believe that this goes too far.
Any final remarks?
It's cold and I don't like it. Yes yes, it's winter and it's supposed to be cold but the temperature dropped from -5 C to -24 C in a day and I didn't have time to get used to it. Now my hands are cold and my joints ache even indoors and it's difficult to draw. Ugh, I just want to crawl into bed and stay there until spring.
It's been raining really badly in my town (we've had storms so bad that my parents' studio lost its sign to the wind) and because of it the ground is really dangerous.
Yesterday I slipped and hurt my arm pretty badly, bruises all along my elbow.
I have a bunch of pages to crunch on and my arm is sore! AaaAAAagh end me
Today has been the Monday from "buggy" hell. From the minute I step into the day gig I'm getting hit left and right with needy/buggy co-workers. Fer Pete's sake, give a dude at least an hour to sit down & get settled..!
Trying to mentally get back into the zone to work on my comic page- this rain isnt helping. I feel like I wanna eat some Chinese food, watch an action movie, and call it a night.
Sophomore year is a b*tch.
With the year coming to an end, the year decides to drop everything on us.
- Poem analysis that needs to be done a week from now. The writer, by the way, is the overachiever of Philippine culture (and its national hero), Jose Rizal.
His novels are hard enough, and now we have to do his poems? - Frakkin Science Fair tomorrow. So that means we're gonna defend our crapshoot of a thesis against 2 grade levels (with 8 sections each) who are trained in the fine art of ripping a thesis to pieces.
Oh. And the infamous panelists. - A batch song. Yes, we have to make a song commemorating the (lack of) achievements done by our batch. Due next week.
- And the stress of navigating the minefield called "social life".
Wow.
I really need to stop whining and start working...
Talked to my counselor about switching classes and told her about the guy in question (and started crying like a baby because I'm really unstable now apparently) and all she really said was
"Oh, him? I know him, he's a great guy. Go talk with him and figure things out"
AARRGH!! Basically now I'm morally obligated to stay in my history class. Because it's the "right thing to do". Nooooooooooooooo please. Please.i have enough stress in my life
........really???, that`s terrible
Does she know you already tried to do that?,
(maybe you didnt told her due to the distress of the moment. I am asking just in case )
I really hope this gets solved soon.
I wish i have an idea how to solve this. If for any reason i get one, i`ll tell you.
And of course, i am here if you need to talk.
Da heck why??
What's with that counselor?
I don't know. Personally, it's fairly easy to sweet-talk a teacher. Or any person in authority.
Anybody could do it. You just need to be a little more persuasive.
And bring evidence. Like, cold, hard evidence. That should do the trick to make you switch classes.
Have you tried talking to someone higher than the guidance counselor?
But yeah, don't worry about putting angst down here. This is what this thread (and subsequent friends you meet in this thread) is for.
... of course that's what happened. OF COURSE.
this kid sound like a real weasel if the adults think he's great but he's bullying you.
maybe you could change seats in your class? sort of to deter as much interaction with this guy as possible.
wow, I'm annoyed (for you, not because you vented)
...there's nothing wrong with being sensitive! especially considering the stress you've been under?
I probably I KNOW would've done the same thing! ;u;
About to have a mental breakdown over here. went home yesterday evening and got a prompt for a laptop update. I ran the update, and now my laptop has wonked out- it keeps going in circles during the booting process. Sat down with one of my I.T. co-workers & trying to see if we can recover the settings.
This is a terrible response.
Maybe the counsellor gets a lot of people who've had little fights coming through the door. I know some of my students fall out every week then make up again. It might help if you went back and stood your ground.
By the way, you shouldn't have to. The counsellor is paid to take every problem seriously. This is not how we are trained to respond to students and makes me think she is being wilfully ignorant.
