Re: That's your provocative...

In Response To: That's your provocative... (SEspider)

: That's your choice.
: There's a huge difference between a parody and flat out thief.

Starting this discussion might wind up being a bad idea, but...

If we're dealing with this from the standpoint of copyright law, there's actually a very fine (and sometimes fuzzy) line between parody and IP theft. Sometimes it's very obvious that a work is parody, but sometimes judges have to argue over it.

Quite a bit of the stuff on your website doesn't necessarily look like it would stand up as "parody" for fair use under legal definitions and precedent. Things like Calvin and Hobbes Halo, where the style of one thing is used to represent another thing, has been shut down before in court, due to not providing significant new criticism or commentary.
(And it's not clear to me how some of your work, like Cannon Fodder No More, could be construed as parody in the first place; that image appears to be a played-straight representation of a Halo grunt dressed up based on dialogue from Combat Evolved.)
