Editing Dahl and others

Of course not. The original(s) are all still there, and it is laughable to claim that producing new material destroys the original(s), even if the new material uses and, in the eye of some beholders, horribly defaces and makes a mockery of the original(s)

hmmm…

Are you laughing though? Because you don’t seem to be laughing.

I can put it this way: I was gonna use that Mona Lisa mustache example earlier to bolster my point (except I thought my examples were funnier) so I’m not sure we’re even on the same page. It’s fine to just say this is an angels-on-the-head-of-a-pin discussion that you have no interest in.

God imagine if Ian Fleming were alive today. He’d definitely be rich from the fox news circuit.

I mean, I get it, if a mf says ā€œyou shouldn’t deface an artist’s original workā€ and then you hold up a goddamn mona lisa with a goddamn mustache drawn on it, and the mf says ā€œoh, that’s not what I mean, in fact, that’s the opposite of what I mean; that’s totally good and encouragedā€ I can hypothesize the potential confusion.

All the womanizing and killing you love, half the n-words!ā„¢

Btw, the discussion about how ridiculous it is to remove ā€œfatā€ from William Wonka but leave in the over-the-top description choc full of 37 synonyms for ā€œfatā€ calling Gloop a fat fuck, and, the discussion about not ā€œdefacingā€ an artist’s original work, are two separate discussions. And the discussion about copyright law in practice is separate from both.

Like Jal, you clearly didn’t look at the post I’m responding to and have no understanding of what my point was in your haste to dunk on me.

Yeah that’s totally what I’m known for, not reading posts. You should see how mad they get at me, all like, ā€œOmg 6ix you should go back in a thread and read and respond to a bunch of old posts, but you never do!ā€

Ked mentioned ā€œeditsā€ and you posted something that is clearly not an ā€œeditā€ so I pointed that out. I wasn’t trying nor did I know I was dunking.

i like where this is going

I already admitted it’s counterintuitive af, to the point that if you accused me of trolling I’d admit that I see how it could look like that:

Being the owner of The Mona Lisa and changing the shade of the background and calling it The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci= defacing

Drawing a mustache and dicks on The Mona Lisa and calling it The Mona Lisa With A Mustache And Dicks On Her Forehead by Not Leonardo da Vinci = not defacing

Well, I appreciate knowing your definition of defacing, even if yours is hardly in common usage. But that still isn’t the claim I was addressing!

Just a heads up, there’s no non-cringe non-shitty way to say ā€œhey guys I have people here on my ignore list plz like me and tell me i’m good and that i fit inā€.

Hey look, the out crowd is having a conversation

Pathetic

Ok, time to comment on how pathetic they are

Not what I was saying at all fwiw.

ALSO not what I was saying at all.

Thread is completely dominated by an involved and active discussion among a small group of people that should be its own thread. IMO.

It’s not the word I would’ve picked but it seems to be the one being used, just very figuratively and with a lot of artistic license. "ā€œDefacing’ the artist’s original intentā€ I suppose. In the mustache mona lisa everybody knows it’s not da Vinci.
