I just wanna add to the fear mongering about post+ and that u can get sued when you post copyrighted content aka. any and all fanwork:

You can always get sued for publishing content based off of or containing copyrighted content, paid or not.

The only reason we aren't getting sued left and right for it is because copyright owners like your favorite author or filmmaker choose not to enforce it. It's wildly unpopular amongst fans and most of the time fancontent benefits the copyright holder. However it has definitely happened before that a copyright owner filed copyright claims against freely accessible fanworks that don't make money and forced the creator to take their stuff down. But just because it doesn't happen a lot, because it's also a lot of work, doesn't mean it's not illegal !

You as a fanartist, fic writer, gif maker etc. make stuff that does not fall under fair use as you don't review the stuff or add criticism. You are always infringing on copyright, so please don't act like you only will when you use post+ and you have no legal ground to protect your content or yourself from people suing you. This is not a grey area or anything new. You have to realize that you're not in the right and all us fan content creators are at the mercy of the copyright holders at any time, in any situation.

#post+#post+ discourse #psa #copyright #i'd be happy if you share this bc im kinda sick of all the same discussions and fear mongering each time a company explains that #they cant save your from copyright holders #i learned all of this in my law classes at design school #since you make money in design by using copyright #hence u have to know ur shit

Patiently waiting for the day the capitalist goons realise that tumblr dot com can never be successfully monetized and they announce they're pulling the plug so we all revolt until they admit defeat and we collectively fund, organise, and maintain this feral corner of the internet in perpetuity.
