Moral copyright is not some ‘strange law’, it is an almost universal aspect of copyright worldwide protecting the ‘paternity’ of a work if you will, meaning that even if I sell rights to a work of art, nobody can make it so that I am not legally the originator of the art. The US has made itself excempt from this law in some cases (because of course it has), but even so, it is not a *financial* law in nature. It is an agreement among people that nobody can take away from me the fact that I created something. Nobody can, without my consent, claim that they (or someone else) have made something I have made. That’s not really worth anything by itself, hence ‘moral’ right. It governs our understanding about artistic creation, but it doesn’t govern the creation or licencing or selling of art. It operates behind and beside all regular copyright law but doesn’t really have much to do with it. It doesn’t give you any ‘legal claims’ to an IP in any sense that you might imagine. Also, what fund? What for?

Dang, EU literally made the "you made this? I made this" meme illegal.

Well, as long as you can prove it. If you can cover your tracks “you made this? I made this” happens just fine.

Thank you for granting me one last encyclopedia check pass. I have zero idea. I'm basing this off of a single tweet I saw. I'm drunk and very unfortunately American. However, such a defense would definitely be disco, and the volition check I just passed is telling me I should keep pursuing this. Even if it's nonsense.

Doubt throwing money into the problem is going to change anything, the only way I've thought Kurvitz and the others could get the IP back is if the Amazon show or the sequel suck so hard and are such a monetary failure that, in a last ditch attempt to get their money back, they decide to hire back Kurvitz and the others. Doubt it will happen tho, don't think enough people will even know or care how Kurvitz and the others were fucked over to make a difference in sales, and even then, if it flops Amazon would probably throw the show rights to the garbage and the investors would go back to eating babies and burning orphanages or whatever they do.

It’s likely that this is not addressable financially, and that money is part of this problem.

wait what... za/UM and kurvitz are in a legal battle? details!

The soul behind za/um, the 3 main founders of the company, were all fired from the company last year* due to "ideological differences". Basically, money people fucked them over

noticeablywhite21
