Artcow Matt Furie - greasy, delusional furry porn artist who really hates the meme he created, litigious ANTIFA

We you Matt Furry!

Some games have emoticons you can unlock by buying the game. You can sell the emoticons on the marketplace for however much you want. The price is mostly tied to the demand for the emoticon, and vaguely tied to the price of the game, since if you really want a specific emoticon that badly, you can just by the game.

It's a bit stupider and more :autism: than that.

Some games have cards associated, which drop at random when you play the game for a specified amount of time. They come in sets 0f 8-12 and steam will give you maybe 10 drops total including duplicates so you'll have to trade or use the market to finish the set (getting people accustomed to market = happy good feeling is the entire point). You can trade a complete set in for one emoticon chosen at random from the game's pool of emotes.

The really expensive emotes tend to be rare ones from meme games. Undertale's creator uses a little white pixel dog as his avatar and it's a rare emote in that game. Exceptionals are still paying $30 for it, and I had to go look on the market history to find that out because there are no copies left on the market.

Imagine if he loses the rights to Pepe entirely, who would remember him?

There's still a chance he'll be remembered for DMCAing everyone who've used Pepe. All because some political movement he didn't like used it.

Matt Furie has filed a DMCA complaint to Steam for the existence of this :CunningPepe: steam emote.

as such, may matt furie suck my dick

I totally understand not wanting your creation to be plastered on white supremacist propaganda, but this is just fucking stupid. He's making a fool out of himself. If you keep DMCAing everyone, you'll become a laughingstock and people will keep using your content just to spite you.

All parody is fair use, but whether or not you make money doesn't affect whether a given use is fair use (though it does have a bearing on damages).

There is no such rule. There are four factors to fair use, and "is it parody" isn't one of them. Your parody actually has to be transformative. You can read the 2 Live Crew case if you want. That's probably the best expression of the parody doctrine, and while it definitely says that parody is often fair use, it doesn't say that this is a guarantee. Even a parody could be too derivative, or not transformative enough, or both.

I may be nattering about a technicality, since there is only one case I've heard of where something was found to be a parody but to be infringing anyway, and it's a really, really stupid case, but never make an eat a hat bet on an IP case. (Note, that case is one of the stupidest fucking things you will ever read that was written by an actual appeals court.)

Reminder that Furie's Pepe has green lips, while the internet meme Pepe (and edits) have brown lips.

Thus they're not the same character. He also didn't draw the smug version everyone uses.

'Tis the season to post frogs. Fuck that guy, as well as everyone else who sues over petty shit.

 

[The Fatheads]

Pepe may as well be an undying meme if Furie keeps trying to fight it. If he had just left it alone after the Kekistani autism, Pepe could of just been left to be obscured, known mostly in just some autistic group of people doing some sort of cringy shit with a green frog.

He should be happy! Now his creation will be remembered forever!

Trippy!

He could have just replaced the rest of the characters with Wojak and capitalize on the meme. No one "owns" Wojak.

He'll always have this thread.

The internet took this shitty character and made an icon. I’m not sure why he wouldn’t embrace the character’s success for a profit. Instead, he cucks himself out to the left and is ridiculed.

The bit about getting the stickers pulled from Steam is understandable, but I still think it’s a stretch.

That is the question, what's the endgame? Surely it must cost considerable resources to attempt to DMCA Pepe, and since he's not selfless enough to release Pepe into the public domain, Furie stands to make a considerable amount of money from Pepe.

 

[Billy_Sama]

If I was Matt Furie, I would allow Pepe the official mascot for Tumblr or BLM.

To be fair Megg mogg and owl has better stoner humor that Boys club.

Just saying
