adaptations copyright creators fairuse media publicdomain remixers

We hear a lot about copyright...when it's coming into play. Celebrities and YouTube Personalities recently sued a game for using their trademark dance without permission. And then a bunch of old  stories, poetry, and movies were released into the Public Domain. What does that even mean?

Everything created is legally protected, but it seems really confusing when those protections kick in. This guide is intended to provide a strong layman's introduction to the basic guidelines and considerations when working with copyright and copyrighted material, and share stories about how copyright has been applied and challenged in a variety of media.

(While this project is now marked completed, I may come back from time to time to add interesting stories and concerns I come across while doing my work.)All Rights Reserved

Expanded Horizons: Beyond the Blue by ThetaObelusGamma

The world consists of far more than a few people, and far more than just what you see of them now. All characters have a past, a story, some piece of themselves hidden by time that makes clear who they are today. These hidden aspects can be revealed by more than just their stories, too; sometimes, what happens off-screen is even more important than what's on display. Follow me through the world our heroes and villains inhabit and see just how far we can go together! -This is all backstory and world-building for the Freelands of Into That Wild Blue Yonder (https://www.wattpad.com/story/214070883-into-that-wild-blue-yonder). Just around 50K words. -I also wrote up a brief encyclopedia with general world info here (https://www.wattpad.com/story/216689041-a-brief-encyclopedia-of-the-reimagined-world). Contains no spoilers.

•☆Monokuma's Special motive☆• [REWRITE] by Saiiioumaa

•☆Saiouma/Oumasai☆• • This story is a rewrite. My original was finished last summer after working on it for a year. All of this story is altered text from original as I find I could do much better writing it. If you feel like it, please read the original before or after this version.• Link: https://www.wattpad.com/story/243358692 •This story was inspired by a POV by shartibble on TikTok. They do amazing cosplays so I would recommend checking them out.• •Link : https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeGksJLh/ • ⚠️TW⚠️: Violence • swearing • reference to death • Anorexia/ED throughout the story
