I would put it in the same class as lathes or mills you probably aren’t saving money by buying one but it may open more avenues for you.
I will say though with the price of printers vs mills & etc, a cheap printer will get you much closer to breaking even. You might save more than you spend if you can use an Ender 3 judicially but overall it’s mostly for those odd projects or when a custom part is needed.
In the main body of the post op mentioned donating money to traditional charities.
Tbf Mr Beast does do traditional charity stuff too like Team Trees and Team Seas.
Webster offers a lay definition not a legal definition. Often in law words are interpreted to have meanings different than they normally would. For example a company would be considered to be a person for the purposes of a law saying “No person shall dump oil in the river”.
You don’t need permission for true parody but changing the lyrics (unless you do so to comment on the original work or author) isn’t that.
Take Amish Paradise. It commented a bunch on the Amish. But it didn’t say anything about Coolio or Coolio’s work.
The issue is there is not clear commentary on either Cash or the Barbie song. Perhaps it’s meant to be contextually interpreted in a specific situation to act as commentary on something else, where it might be satire. And the fact that the two melded together offers a funny juxtaposition isn’t necessary commentary.
What does the author think of Johnny Cash or the Barbie song? What does he mean when he has the Beach Boys sing 99 Problems? The Red Hot Chili Peppers video from 10 months ago probably would get parody status. Because what they sound like to people who don’t like them is actually commentary on the band. But so many of his works we can ask what should society walk away with from “Hank Williams sings Straight Outta Compton”? There simply is no message or commentary in most of these.
While a parody targets and mimics the original work to make a point, a satire uses the original work to criticize something else entirely.
If anything granting it satire status is generous.
It’s a composition in the style of Johnny Cash that’s meant to be funny. That’s parody.
That’s satire. In the US for something to be parody it has to be a commentary on the original work(s) or author(s). A parody of Johnny Cash would be something like if they used AI to copy his song note for note but had lyrics that criticized him for portraying himself as bluecollar in his music despite his wealth.
Parody receives higher protection than satire because the parodist is actually trying to make a statement. Most “music parody” like that of Weird Al is satire, which is why Weird Al asks for permission from the original artists.
The video’s maker claims this is parody but seems more like just (at best) satire which receives less legal protections typically. It doesn’t seem that there’s any commentary on the work original IPs, given the rest of his body of work.
You misunderstood the situation. Imagine someone flew to Finland had a can of kalakukko then went off for the rest of their life that all of the EU has dog shit food and is a cultural hellhole.
Serial number is on the other side so it’s that way for the picture.
Wow .26mm of disparity is a lot for such a crucial part. It may not be a high end printer. But seriously? At $280 USD I’d expect the pulley to be tighter tolerance.
Unlike the Thebans, Spartans kept their socks on.
It is definitely too low poly. The DMC-12 did it right. Then the Cyber truck tried to copy it without understanding why it worked aesthetically.
This model just came out recently. I wouldn’t pass judgement on them for that.
We acknowledge that you may use this container for refuse. And we’ve decided to write “DRINKING WATER” on the side in big text, just in case you don’t.
Reach out to the seller. Assert to them that you own that IP and that it was released with a limited license that doesn’t include their sales. Say that they need to either stop or purchase a license from you to continue. If they don’t stop or want to get a license now is the point for you to contact an IP lawyer.
You could go straight to the lawyer option but this should save you some money and possibly resolve it without outside help.
That’s why they put so much in. It’s 1/3 hydrogen.
