She's being paid to paint a kid room. They want sci-fi, the kids specifically wanted Star Wars. But she won't paint them due to copyright - Jim Jun 17, 11:04 19
- If it can't go in my portfolio, the kids can go fuck themselves. -- nm - loosey Jun 17, 11:07 1

- She wants to be able to include the mural in her professional portfolio. Can't do that if it contains the SW characters. - TWuG Jun 17, 11:06 13
  - Sure...at the same time, someone is paying you to do a job for them. They're not paying her to update her portfolio. - Jim Jun 17, 11:08 8
    - I explained it to them, they were cool with it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 11:11 6
      - At least put generic dudes with laser swords in it and shit. Lucas doesn't own the idea of laser swords. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 11:12 5
        
        He owns just about every other concept related to it (Droid phone) -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 17, 11:12 4
        
        Wait, so the word "androids" has been around for centuries, but because Lucas called them "'droids," he can copywright it? Wow. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 11:21 3
        
        Yes. That's entirely because of Disney. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 11:23 1
        
        (the whole USPTO/copyright stuff is completely insane) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 11:23
        
        Trademarked not copyrighted. -- nm - TWuG Jun 17, 11:22
    - agrees with this, assuming its correct. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 11:08
  - Then she shouldn't do the mural. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 11:07 3
    - everyone came to an agreement about the mural. everyone is happy. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 11:12
    - Bit late for that. - TWuG Jun 17, 11:09 1
      - it was post-hiring, yes. -- nm - loosilu Jun 17, 11:13
- You're fired! -- nm - Kids Jun 17, 11:06
- Not even Luke Skywalker cares about this. -- nm - Shaun Jun 17, 11:06
- They're just kids. What are they going to do about it, cry? Big deal. -- nm - TFox Jun 17, 11:05
monty python, here we come -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 11:03
