perhaps I should add that ultimately the money does go to the charity, so perhaps that's the loophole - you're paying directly to the charity but "paying" for some author's service? Ahhhmmm. Confusion.
no subject
Well, in cases where you're "paying" for charity - it's kind of like, no money is made from the use of other people's IP? The charity is the only one who is paid any physical amount? :D?
no subject
But, I've also seen cases where privately, without any kind of charity involved, people will offer fic for "money", i.e. they offer up their skillz, people offer them money, and the author ends up sending the person a small gift or postcard or something entirely legal to pay money for, so if the Feds come knocking the argument is that the payee was paying for the item, and the fic was just the icing.
However, I don't think you need to get that elaborate. I think most of the issues with copyright are associated with people trying to sell their fic to publishers or zines, etc.
HAVE I CONFUSED YOU SUFFICIENTLY?
no subject
SC works that way, yep, and I think avoids all the legal loopholes by doing that. The second case is what I think there's been more ??? and crackdown over, but there are ways around it - like the postcard thing, or a Write it Original but Hey Search Replace The Names thing. \o
The zine thing is probably the only thing that anyone would take action for because of distribution, I think -- there are clauses in most laws saying that if so-and-so's actions don't affect a significant blah blah of the company's profit, then legal action is limited &c &c. GOOD FOR US.
no subject
I'm all for things like SC and livelong, so hurray for them avoiding legalities. Plus, honestly, if someone attempted to file a lawsuit against them it would just look bad. ( do people actually do "write original, then search&replace"? That's kind of brilliant. )
Yea, the zine/legal publication thing is what most lawsuits are after. Yay for fan-created things that are free and therefore mostly legal.
no subject
(Write original - that's what I do! I think I read of it somewhere, long, long, long ago.)
\o Fan creation brings such joy and then consumer interest. DON'T HATE US PLZ
no subject
No kidding! That's what I didn't understand about the entire millenium fiasco some years ago, where they shut down fanwebsites and sued some people and everyone was slinging mud. They just lost a whole bunch of fans, why would they do that? Stupid.
no subject
\o Silly makers are silly. EGO+
