I love how the stream behind him is the color of neon in a gas discharge tube.

This.

Seriously, that's the reason I voted for this.

Re: Neon neon neon neon neon neon

Clever.

Re: Neon neon neon neon neon neon

After viewing the video I want to murder myself a little bit. Fortunately it lobotomized a small part of my brain... hopefully it was the part that would grow into a malignant tumor in the future, none the less, GMV +!

Crap... looks like it was numbers recognition. Well, if it prints I'll buy Q*.

Re: Neon neon neon neon neon neon

I really hope this gets made.

Re: Neon neon neon neon neon neon

Re: Neon neon neon neon neon neon

I didn't know where this was from. Part of me wishes I was still innocent to that. Great job and best of luck!

Re: Neon neon neon neon neon neon

Excellent work, clever too!

Re: Neon neon neon neon neon neon

Guys, I tried to pm the artist about this, but Nyancat is very, very protected at this point. The original owner of the image has filed for copyright/trademark on it, and from what I heard/read, they are actively forcing the removal of all parody of Nyancat. There's some other artists who did Nyan parodies and they were forced to remove their shirts from sales sites.

I love this image, but I dont want anyone in trouble. There's other artists confirming that indeed, the Nyancat owner, as well as the company producing apparel for Nyancat, are not allowing these images for sale.

Sorry ;_;. The only reason Im posting this here is so other artists are aware of the situation.

Thanks for the warning, I thought it was a clever parody.

I thought parodies didn't violate copyright law?

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Dang, I was in for 3!

It is clever, and very cute, but the property belongs to someone who is actively protecting it. Sorry, again.

I thought he never actually filed the DMCA??

Re: Neon neon neon neon neon neon

I've seen quite the opposite of the original artist claiming copyright on this. I've seen him OK everything from shirts to books to 3D prints.

Someone really should get in touch with him rather than assuming there will be copyright issues.

Re: Neon neon neon neon neon neon

Why did it take woot so long to reject this? Way to get our hopes up by letting it sit in the fog for 3 days. ::disappointed::

Re: Neon neon neon neon neon neon

VERY disappointed that this was rejected because of copyright issues. I would have at least bought 2.

Seriously.

On that note, isn't parody protected under fair use? I don't think they can send cease and desist orders (with any legal backing) on such a thing.

Really, if the artist is pursuing people legally than woot wants to play it safe here.

However, being a long time fan of Weird Al, I've picked up a few things on parody over the years. Weird Al usually contacts the people that he is parodying and asks for permission before doing his humourous take on them. Most say yes, some are jerks and claim they never said yes then take it back when they are found to have no sense of humour, and one (Prince) consistantly turns him down. That being said, parody artists do not need to ask permission to do parody, it is in fact, protected legally.

All that said though, I can understand why woot would reject. If the original artist is really uptight, then even if they have no ground to stand on, why would woot want to entangle itself in a possible legal battle?

Just a month ago, this lawsuit involving a parody design hit Threadless.

Woot has had its share of dealing with lawyers in the past ... and they probably don't need more of that. So as I see it, if there's any doubt involved in such a close parody, rejecting is a safer bet than having to deal with the legal aspects later.

Parody is a defense, not a right. The copyright owner can sue and could win.
