I just wanted a hot dog Apperantly A24 suddenly thinks they own all of the backrooms.

Post image

Many people have been reporting copyright strikes for backrooms fan games, textures, and other references on Google play, Twitter and other spaces. Apparently the company thinks if they make a movie that suddenly they own the source material that existed years before the movie was even conceptualized. For an idea of how ridiculous this is, it's like saying James Cameron owns the Titanic and every survivor's story because of the movie he made.

With how shitty the world is becoming at what point is it enough, it's literally 1984, can't have shit anymore, even decades old community internet creepypastas apparently.

this is like nintendo striking a mario porn parody. so they literally own a super mario porno now

u/Tisdale98 Jul 17 '26

To be fair, Nintendo didn't copyright strike that Mario porn parody, they bought the rights to it instead. They literally do own a Super Mario porno, and have since 1993.

source? for porn not the legal action

u/quaileyeforthefatguy Jul 17 '26

Super Hornio Bros, starring Ron Jeremy.

Ah, now that's a name that'll bring people back to the past.

u/Le_Feesh Jul 17 '26

Much to my chagrin. That guy is the physical embodiment of the heeby jeebies.

u/Libraterrarium Jul 17 '26

"Blast from the past" was right there

u/onehalflightspeed Jul 17 '26

That's a name that makes me gag. How was such a gross and foul man the undisputed king of pornography for so many years

27

u/SomeFunnyPhrase Jul 17 '26

I mean, it isn't too hard to imagine the porn ndustry, especially at that time, being the place for gross and foul men to be king.

u/onehalflightspeed Jul 17 '26

He unsurprisingly faced credible charges for sexual assault and abuse of dozens of women including minors. For better or worse, he had advanced dementia at the time and declared unfit to stand trial. So he will never see a prison cell, but I doubt his golden years are happy ones

u/votum7 Jul 17 '26

Oh yeah I’d say dementia is a worse fate than prison. I’m sure most people would choose prison.

He reminded people of themselves. "Wow, if this guy can do it..."

Just look at the current US President.

u/firedmyass Jul 17 '26

he allowed the gross and foul members of the target-audience to imagine themselves in that… milieu

u/AustinYQM Jul 17 '26

My guy in the Adam's Family porn parody (The Madam's Family) there are multiple shots of Ron Jeremy's ass-crack just caked in shit. Visible, wet, gross shit. The porn industry was (is?) disgusting.

1

u/SouthIndependence69 Jul 18 '26

I think at the time they thought average looking dudes would be more relatable to the viewer, which is how he got work to begin with

1

u/onehalflightspeed Jul 18 '26

But he was a gross bastard from the beginning. He was far below average performing with impossible to achieve women

There was nothing relatable about that lol, unless you were a gross bastard at the time. Maybe that was the play

1

u/MayorWolf Jul 17 '26

Big D and he was impressively agile. The man appealed to the audience in a time where the media was very limited and regulations made it a hard industry to break into. He certainly wasn't a big deal in the internet porn era.

u/Roasted_Newbest_Proe Jul 17 '26

Actual perfect casting lmao

2

u/Ryaquaza1 Jul 17 '26

I googled it just out of curiosity (I ain’t watching it tho lol) but the fact Google is treating it the same way as an actual movie is frying me.

The random Mario movie icon and the Fantasy/Comedy tags is just the icing on the cake

1

u/ZeusHatesTrees Jul 17 '26

You can actually see all of it (except the sex parts) on Youtube!

u/Prestigious_Host_198 Jul 17 '26

They actually own two pornos.

u/Icy_Secret_2909 Jul 17 '26

My original comment was removed so.

Reminds me of the (I think it was zootopia?) Creators that said they were shown a binder full of porn based on disney characters as preparation for that eventuality.

Edit: trying to figure out if it was in fact zootopia or another ip.

Edit 2: it was shown to the creator of jake long.

2

u/TrinixDMorrison Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

Maybe I’m just not that depraved but I would not have been concerned about Jake Long getting a large hentai fanbase if I were that guy with the binder. Totally Spies, definitely. Maybe even Brace Face. But Jake Long?

3

u/Icy_Secret_2909 Jul 17 '26

A certain website has about 2000 listings for jake long. So, there is a demand apparently.

u/NoodleIskalde Jul 17 '26

Dragon. Triangle shaped beefy dragon, even.

this is the equivalent of showing new drivers, gore. just so they get scared into driving better

8

u/ThetaDee Jul 17 '26

Funny, my drivers ed DID show gore.

5

u/Icy_Secret_2909 Jul 17 '26

Same. Then I started trading gore stories with him from my something awful days. Looking back, like why do they do that?! That driving school closed during covid, so there is that.

u/menryBasedmarineCav Jul 17 '26

I had a substitute teacher do this before quitting their job

2

u/LesLikesGARBAGE Jul 17 '26

That happens at least in Georgia

u/menryBasedmarineCav Jul 17 '26

They own 2 iirc

3

u/Geometronics Jul 17 '26

I don't know about porn, but didn't someone make a 3D model of bowsers dick and Nintendo copyright struck it?

2

u/TheMireAngel Jul 17 '26

striking IP theft isnt cannonizing anything, its literaly just forcing people to stop stealing your ip.

2

u/poke29980 Jul 17 '26

actually they bought the full rights to it. which makes it funnier

2

u/Foxy02016YT Jul 17 '26

They didn’t strike it, they bought the rights and never distributed it

18

u/Sloppykrab Jul 17 '26

A what? I can't tell what you're trying say.

6

u/Mothanius Jul 17 '26

WB said that a Rapist Bugs Bunny is their copyright, their product, their canon character.

3

u/Sloppykrab Jul 17 '26

Ah thank you. The other comment wasn't clear.

12

u/adius Jul 17 '26

Funny meme but it doesn't mean they're saying they own the work, it means they're saying the publishing of the work is illegal because it contains a copyrighted character. I'm not a lawyer and I'm not going to argue yea or nay about fair use, but thats what they're saying.

(I'll be honest, I'm being pedantic because I'm kinda tired of the meme)

u/AmArschdieRaeuber Jul 17 '26

Yeah it was always a weird stretch

2

u/menryBasedmarineCav Jul 17 '26

Meat canyon animated a follow up after the og got copyright struck and in it claimed that wb doing that makes it cannon as a joke

u/FatherFarnsworth Jul 17 '26

How ya doing, how ya doin?

u/TheMireAngel Jul 17 '26

not how that works at all

u/DrGlamhattan2020 Jul 17 '26

Trademark actually.

u/zip3_ Jul 17 '26

didn't know they made a serbian film

1

u/aregonis Jul 23 '26

Lol it's also midly infuriating that there are people that really believe that it is true that that video is canon because WB struck it. 

Ofc this statement started as a joke, but lots of people have taken it seriously.

6

u/PassiveMenis88M Jul 17 '26

Caught WB looking like a double wide surprise

3

u/Xan_the_man Jul 17 '26

They keep taking... AND TAKING!

16

u/TheMireAngel Jul 17 '26

because they own bugs bunny...

bro what this isnt even comparable.

If you make your own character named Tom

And i make a cartoon were Tom rapes children

And you copyright strike me, that doesnt make Tom cannonicaly a child rapist.

That is in no way the same as someone uses a Public domain artpiece to make a movie and then striking people for using the original public domain artpiece.

Like your point is so offensively bad

u/Ditnoka Jul 17 '26

Meat Canyon never straight up uses assets. He puts a horrid spin on every one, clearly moving his work into the parody category which is inherently protected. Unless I'm mistaken about this specific video.

2

u/Revolver_Lanky_Kong Jul 17 '26

Yes, large corporations abuse DMCA and copyright law all the time. They know a prolonged and expensive battle isn't feasible for 95% of creators. That doesn't make MeatCanyon shorts canon though, that's just a weird thing to claim.

-6

u/WeevilWeedWizard Jul 17 '26

It was literally just bugs bunny

12

u/DrGlamhattan2020 Jul 17 '26

In a parody which is protected by law. They did a trademark strike against him saying it follows WB storylines.

2

u/Scared_Table_2046 Jul 17 '26

WB striking a MeatCanyon Bugs Bunny rape video is the most "protecting our brand" own goal I've ever seen. Now the clip lives forever in internet infamy precisely because you tried to bury it lol

2

u/SlicedBreadBeast Jul 18 '26

Meatcanyon then made a video that because it got copyrighted by WB that it was now actually canon in the looney tunes universe that Bug Bunny is a rapist and held a funeral with all his other characters.

okay, but now in English
