Soooo GC Legal
| Although most likely legally ok
Its obvious that the CEOs depicted will be rather upset

It's okay until they send a cease and desist in form of a task force. That's where you draw the line unless you like to be beaten to death by an iron baton (or worse, hot lead).
| >>423704 >>423717 Don't be so dramatic. As someone who was both a CEO and someone who knows the people of various megacorps...I highly doubt they'll care. They didn't get where they are by being 'liked' by everyone and people probably already do these things from the first. You won't be the first, you won't be the last.
So long as you don't interfere with their bottom line, you'll get little more than an eyeroll and maybe a blacklist on their personal browsers.
| >>b45fe6 depends on the Corp. Some have huge issue with branding being "misaapropriated to malicious or mischievous ends" (stupid city by-law purported to safeguard small businesses from being media blitzed; instead it's used by Corporate to bully artists they don't like)
That said: unless you are making money off it or are employed/chartered to defame the company the legal precedents are actually on your side (even if thier lawyers say otherwise)
| >>423729 Sure if you have the 'vocal power' to make a difference. Most of the people on this board do not. It really depends on who you are and how well your 'message' flies.
I suppose on paper that's supposed to be true, that the law would be on your side unless the situations above are met...but truly? All that's garbage. Law is a joke.
| >>b45fe6 Law is a tool like anything else, either need to learn how to use it or find someone who does. GCity Wu, Wei, & Associates have been taking a lot of pro bono, just gotta reach out with a winnable case.
| >>423735 I suppose. Personally I don't worry much about it. I have people for that. But truly? If you say that it is just a tool, I can agree to that.
Out of curiosity, what was their last case? I take it you know?
| >>b45fe6 CERO-TECH v. MCCONNELL
McConnell made a Trideo detailing defunct corporate building projects from 30 years ago. Silly series, lots of stills and voice over...but the contention was he made a parody image of Cero-Tech's failed pachinko parlor (the one with the live idol-dancers supposed to be dancing on catwalks over the machines?) Well McConnell suggested they just wanted up skirts. Throwaway gag, no teeth.
Tried to C&D him, Wu & Wei got him out from under WITH punitives
| >>423740 Punitives? What sort? And the truth doesn't sting unless its true ya know...McConnell definitely hit a nerve. -Dicktator
| As much as some of my subordinates beg otherwise, I don't see the point in wasting resources prosecuting trolls online. -Hera
| >>423905 Well I guess if they pull more stupid shit in your company, you can point to their trash opinion mentioned here and state this is why they're subordinates.
And madam, you wound me! I am but a sloshing genetic slimy slurry, using my own material and mind as a medium for emotionally stirring pieces. For serious!
Look, here's my first! -Dicktator
>An utter abomination of art resembling the head of Ares Macrotech doing...why...

| Just hooooow much trouble can you get into if you were to say, draw inappropriate pictures of certain CEOs that head certain megacorps? I'm partially testing it out right now but I need some more data!
But seriously, if we're safe shitposting here what's this little step up gonna do for the...artist?-Dicktator
