Ren'Py Abandoned Summertime Saga [v0.20.16 Pre-tech] [Kompas Productions]

This is......... inaccurate.

Parody does not give one free reign to use the underlying music of a song whose lyrics are being completely rewritten. In fact, the 'transformative' test can't credibly be applied to Weird Al song expressly because he's not transforming the nature of the music. In other words, it still has to sound pretty much exactly like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or "Beat It" for the joke lyrics to work. Thus, that aspect of the copyright is intact, and permission must be sought from the respective copyright owner (who is not often the artist in question). There is also the blatantly commercial nature of the new work, which puts a thumb on the scale in weighing fair use. (As expressly set forth in the statute)

He does also ask the artist's permission out of courtesy, but legally he still has to clear it with the copyright owner. (The copyright owner might be BMG, or Harry Fox or whoever; if they say yes but the artist says no, Al won't make the song.)

Actually, he speeds the music up a bit, because he thinks it is funnier, and occasionally removes or adds verses to make it work for his idea, but for no other 'legal' reasons.

While 'Weird Al' asks permission, and will not put any song that is not approved on an album, he is not legally obligated to do so. He is far from the only artist who creates parodies, almost none of them ask, and most of them make a profit off of their songs. One of the most prolific is Bob Rivers, who started doing stand up, and ended up working at a radio station, where he could even hire people who sound like the original artists to perform the tracks.

As long as you are changing a majority of the lyrics, so that no one can reasonably think it is the same song, there is really no legal issue. You are not required to change everything, only enough to make it 'different'.

--

As it relates to the game though, Trumps, Clinton, and Il, they are parodies, even changing the names of the Trumps, and they are drawn as caricatures, whereas Titania was an homage.

i find it funny,the fact that a lot of people hang their weapons in a wall on their houses,but even more funnier is the fact that DC made Annie's father put a hammer on his wall.....who would've thought?

If I had a hammer,
I'd nail all the MILF'ies,
I'd nail that Eve's thing,
Or just cum in her haaaand...

I'd pound out justice,
With my cock of warning...
I'd use my hammer on all of the mother and the sisters,
All over this laaaaand...

I assume a live stream.

I got you beat then, I have watched one! It wasn't easy though, my browser didn't like it, I ended up having to open it in Media Player Classic.

This is his page for it, btw.

One can rewatch the last 12 streams on picarto as well, just click on the "videos" button. In case someone wants to give it a go right now.

Yeah, Prince was very protective of his songs. Mark Knopfler told Al yes on the condition Mark got to play guitar on Als version. Parody and satire are protected under the 1st amendment, thankfully. Imagine how many lawsuits Twilight Shortbread would have if it wasn't, among many, many other people. Now if only he could throw in the Principal and Annie being Scientologist. That would make for some funny shit.

Just read this, now I have to buy a new monitor. Shot coffee out my nose laughing, Scientologist, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

The incest patch is some odd... I mean, Its okey when you call mom 'Mom', but its strange when other character call her 'mom', the same with erick moms, erick calling her 'Mrs'.

I dont if is just me that problem.

wow Devi,my bro,you must have a browser even worst tham mine.....i cant even use Mega with this browser,the only way for me to download things is by workupload or nopy(or torrents)....the best place for me to download anything is at my desktop on my job(yes i'm on that level of sadness)

The patch might be a simple word replacement. They'd have to start combing through dialogue and looking for context if they wanted to improve it. Example: if it's someone else talking to you, they could replace it with "your mom." But that of course makes it more complicated.

So my options are play without the path and lost the major fetish or play with the odd patch, oh well, thanks por the reply anyway.

Now there is the cookie jar to rewatch scenes, can we get the links in the start of the thread updated with a completed save when one is available? Getting sick of having to replay the whole game to get the new stuff

The cookie jar already stays across versions, no matter which save you use. So as long as you don't clean up your registry you should be fine and have all the old scenes available. At least that's how it has been until now.

I hope to have more footjob

I hope to have more footjob

Yep i agree ! More blowjob too !

It is a bit old, but mainly I have a lot of flash and java stuff blocked, which has a tendency to fuck up a lot of streaming sites. For a few of those sites, you can use a 3rd party downloader like Jdownloader2, just copy the link and it will parse it for you. I don't like that it puts everything into its own subfolder, but that is handy when you go to an image site. For example, go to page one of a search on Rule34, and copy the url, and it will save every image in the collection into one folder, which is nice. But when you are only getting one file it can be annoying. It also automatically tried to extract archives, though it issues with 7zip.

I keep meaning to try the stream site with various other browsers I have, but it's hard to justify the time, when I should be watching programming tutorials or studying gameplay/UI possibilities.

Four Elements Trainer and Summertime Saga inspired me a lot, and made me decide to try my hand at it after finishing my last fic. If you want to chat about it, you can join me in the conversation I just started.
