But then, we’re talking about a company whose parent sent cease-and-desists to 15-year-old Harry Potter fans for putting up “unauthorized” websites. When you look at copyright law in this country, it’s a bastardized golden rule: he who has the gold makes the rules.

This Batman story.

DC wants the artist to give DC his gay Batman paintings? Am I reading that right? And DC wants the artist to give DC the names and addresses of the people who bought his gay Batman paintings? Is that right?

Um. Okay. So I watch Law and Order and such, so I may not be the best person to talk about American Law Stuff. But isn’t that, like totally unconstitutional, with respect to the First Amendment to the US Constitution, guaranteeing free speech?

I mean, it’s probably unlafwul, too, right? Private citizens spending money on art and such. But yeah. That “freedom of speech” thing, too.

Or will DC be asking people with gay Batman tattoos to, like, hand over their shoulders?

//\Oo/\\
