Does anyone else think that the staff for Growing Around is too small. It consists of less than 10 people. If they continue that route, it'd take another year or so until we see a pilot.

Well, a webtoon doesn't really need a massive staff like a full fledged television show does. If anything I'd say the Growing Around staff is pretty average sized.

True, the thing is with GA is that the staff are incompetent. Besides Nayolfa and Enter, not much of the staff is active at all.

I'd assume it's because of how lazy Enter and Nayofla are. They're just kinda sitting around in typical Aspie fashion trying to salvage what little hope this series even had. Which is to say none at all.

Sure I ripped it off, but at least I didn't rip off anything FAMOUS.

A lot of people have been wondering how legal creating Growing Around is, so let's get this out of the way to stop any and all confusion. Yes, it is legal. Growing Around is not a sequel to Flip-Flopped. It's not a fanfiction, and it does not take place in its world or uses its characters. It's not a revival or remake. I suppose you could call it a spiritual successor though. Copyright law protects works, not underlying ideas. This does not use any of the characters from Flip-Flopped. It doesn't use the setting. It doesn't even really use the same idea any more. Copyright infringement is when a copyrighted work is reproduced, distributed, performed, publicly displayed, or made into a derivative work without the permission of the copyright owner. A derivative work? This is defined by an expression that includes major, copyright-protected elements of the original, previously created work. The transformation, modification or adaptation of the work must be substantial and bear its author's personality to be original and thus protected by copyright.

The point is kind of to get as far away from the original version as possible. Let's put it this way, the full-made movieOpposite Day is much more similar to Flip-Flopped than Growing Around, and that is allowed to stand on its own as its own product. Beyond that many cartoons have been "inspired" by the biggest cartoons of their time. How many Ren & Stimpy rip-offs were out there in the nineties and early 2000's? How many Regular Show and Adventure Time rip-offs are there out there today? Bubsy had many problems, but being in the legal wrong for flat out ripping off The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog were not one of them. We are in the legal right here.

Also, I'd like you to read this: hollylisle.com/how-to-legally-…

But didn't I say blah blah blah? Let me mark it in stone here, Growing Around is a spiritual successor to Flip-Flopped, not a revival, reboot, fan-fiction, or rip-off.

Trust me, I didn't do this without thinking.

Considering how upfront Enter's being about how he stole the idea, they could. Although I'm pretty sure Enter will go on a spree of deleting his SMS' shorts videos and atrocity pages, and play dumb.
 
This talk about plagiarism reminds me of one quote from The Simpsons about how everything about animation copies one another, using The Honeymooners being copied by The Flintstones as an example.

Yeah, but to our defense, you need to at least come up with an idea you thought up, not blatantly steal one and slightly modify one.

Enter's similar to Chris Chan in that regard.

Tss, everyone know Sonichu is a parody, silly !

Also, we don't actually know if the people behind flip-flopped are still around or if they would even care about seeing their failed pilot getting riped-off.

Somehow, I get the feeling that even if they were still around they probably wouldn't care considering that all signs point to Growing Around bombing, possibly before even the half-finshed pilot drops.

I don't know if this is better suited for the fan art thread, but it was made by an anti-Enter (Lars) so I believe it fits better here.
