The profit-making shit show that is Fixing Disney Star Wars

Dude, let it go! You have no idea how much they’re spending on each project nor how much is being donated. Non profile doesn’t mean designers/vfx artists/voice actors works for free. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Who ever it was used EbSynth from what I recall.

Yes, it’s true that there isn’t necessarily any profit-making involved. However, that still doesn’t give them the right to collect funds to create content based upon intellectual property that isn’t their own. Star Wars Theory funded his fan film entirely through his own funds, and he didn’t restrict access to seeing his work based upon whether you are paying him directly or not. If the Fixing Disney Star Wars team had a Patreon, and simply posted their content for everyone to see on YouTube while saying, “Hey, if you like us, feel free to support us financially through donations” then it wouldn’t be a problem. It becomes a problem when the content itself (which isn’t their property even if they create it) is an incentive to supply funding. Yes, it sucks to have to spend that much money on stuff, but they aren’t being forced to do any of that work. It should be coming solely from their ambition as fans of the franchise.

You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Star wars theory funds his films with donations and YouTube money. He even says “without you guys these fan films wouldn’t be possible”. It’s kinda boring having the same argument on different threads so I’ll leave it there.

No you don’t know what you’re talking about. I clearly made that distinction in my argument. I have no qualms with donations. The problem comes when you restrict access to content that isn’t intellectually yours based upon whether you donated or not.

Their team literally just said that for 2 months the only way you will be able to see their fan edit is if you pay them via SubscribeStar. If that isn’t illegal then I don’t know what is.
