Seriously this so hard. I really am tired of hearing copyright when it comes to characters it isn't even funny. I had my high theft characters legally trademarked which takes a bit but its a safe point. Even after that i've had people sit here and tell me i did it wrong.

I seriously wish people would understand the difference between copyright and trademark. My favorite example when it comes to this is Disney princesses images are trademarked. Their merchandise featuring their images is copyright. So when you purhcase a doll or figure from disney if you look at the box you will see Princess Jasmine is (Tm) of Disney corporation Doll and its clothing is copyright of Disney. or (c) of disney.

Copyrights involve physical assets, where trademarks involve looks and characters.
