Sorry for spearing rude although that was not my intent.
I don't think I am
personally attacking any individual or even attacking in general. I don't see getting something for nothing as being terrible although it should be done properly whenever possible.
I shall try to refrain from expressing that particular opinion again, as it does seem to upset people and I am sure I have said it more than twice which is repetitive.
I am not sure how copyright stops anyone from practicing using their favorite characters. I was under the impression that it was only publication that was prohibited? Still with so many people saying so often that copyright reduction will benefit society I shall no doubt see a reason that I find valid one of these days.
Have a delightful evening/day.
