do you think this infringes the red cross copyright?
there is no red cross, it's just a hole
Do you think this infringes the red cross copyright?
Josiah Ortiz
Carter Collins
It's not a copyright infringement. It's a war crime.
Also yes. It's clearly a red cross.
Alexander Perry
Quake got away with it.
Jordan Clark
>It's a cross shaped hole
Jackson Phillips
just label the texture tonga_flag
it'll be alright
Logan Davis
without the memearrows
John Cook
It's not really a copyright or trademark, but yeah, the only hope you have with getting away with that is flying under the radar. White on red might be better than red on white.
Quake was also almost 25 years ago.
Jayden Murphy
Yeah but it's literally still just a red cross.
Nathan Williams
Go ahead. Poke the bear. I'm pretty sure you have the bankroll to fight that legal fight. It's a red cross. Stop being a faggot.
Bentley White
>The Red Cross on white background was the original protection symbol declared at the 1864 Geneva Convention
it's clearly a no color hole over a red background, the white is clearly on the foreground
James Reed
Yeah but it's literally just a red cross.
Eli Carter
Just make it a heart.
Carter Wood
light blue crosses look fine desu, it's retarded but that's just how it be
Brayden Campbell
it's debatable and also free publicity if you are wiling to walk that line
Grayson Clark
you might be able to get away with it if you don't plan on selling whatever you're making op
if it's a commercial product though it's definitely a big no no
Easton Rivera
Countless games have done the red cross on health packs. If it's that big a problem do white cross on red background.
Ayden Cooper
Gabe Newell is going to fucking jail
Jaxon Phillips
Call of Duty's Humvee trademark lawsuit won this for video games. If a red cross depiction is necessary for the art then it's allowed.
Mason Reyes
Why the fuck would Red Cross sue anypne over using the red cross? It's literally a symbol that's unanimous with healthcare. I'm pretty sure it's not even trademarked.
Owen Jones
>b-but you cant put red crosses in video games!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Asher Hall
Because it's a protected symbol under the Geneva Convention. Basically you only use it if you're there to actually provide aid to people. Using it for any other reason is a war crime. Kinda. Not like a war crime war crime but just.. sort of a war crime.
Robert Williams
I didn't even know this was s thing. Jesus fucking Christ, burn copyright law to the ground already.
This is positively sickening.
Dominic Rodriguez
Yeah I'm pretty sure its not the 3D object they're butthurt about.
Also fuck them and fuck the UN
Cooper Perry
yeah let's make all the original people not profit on their improvements to mankind, that'll motivate them!
Carter Cox
Jackson Torres
Gabe Newell is a war criminal
Benjamin Sanchez
all original doom wads distributed from doom 3 bfg edition onwards have the red crosses removed
i'm not sure exactly when the red cross got the stick up its ass but you definitely can't do it anymore
Liam Gray
Kill yourself you fucking kike.
Elijah Green
All these game developers are going to rot in military jail
Ryder Jones
Not that poster but He's clearly talking about all of this grossly overextended durations current copyrights have.
When you can keep a copyright for so long that basically nobody who exists on the earth when you make it will ever live to see it enter the public domain, it's clearly gone too far.
Charles Parker
>I'm pretty sure it's not even trademarked.
dude, at least google it first
Noah Rivera
why does the red cross suddenly care about people using a red cross when people have been using it without their permission since the inception of the red cross and they did fuck all about it then?
Caleb Brooks
you can always make a "fan patch" and unofficially release it to the public like they do with the visual novels
Jace Turner
The red cross symbol was established in fucking 1864.
Corporations are the only things that profit off of copyright laws, and despite what legal classification would have you believe, corporations are not people.
Mason Cook
Yeah its just a hole but i doubt it'd hold up in court or any desist situation
Aaron Martin
Opportunity to make a quick buck.
Eli Cox
Someone make a videogame about brutally raping a series of red cross nurse characters.
Oliver Perry
This is the thinking man answer Do not overcomplicate things
Aaron Sanchez
It's not exactly your regular copyright law, but the Geneva Convention.
Your country agreed to an international treaty that establishes the symbol has a special meaning.
This is super easy to walk around if you are a dev, though.
>make medkits with green/blue/whatever cross
>allow users in the options menu to customize the color of the cross to RGB value they like
Bam. Red crosses. They can't do shit.
Hunter James
Luis Anderson
>allow users in the options menu to customize the color of the cross to RGB value they like
this is a good one
Kevin Campbell
You could make it a fictional organizatio with a fictional symbol. And then do the fan patch with the red cross and flavour changes so you are in fact, a prisoner of war brutally raping a harem of WW2 18yo Red Cross nurses.
Jackson Howard
post the kickstarter, I'm putting all my credit cards
Brayden Perez
just put a christian cross instead, and have a randomizer change which side of the cross is the longest on each box so it all ends up blending into a normal cross.
Elijah Myers
And the three numbers on the back please.
Logan Wright
I understand that, but this goes far beyond people mistaking an unregulated group for Geneva convention compliant aid. We are talking about a piece of fiction using the symbol in a fictional capacity, what harm could POSSIBLY be caused by the inclusion of such a depiction?
Asher Gomez
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
