    SA Share Alike means that you can't put any additional restrictions on your derivative work. So you can't remix a BY-SA model and release your remix with NC or ND restrictions. And you can't put ND restrictions on on a BY-NC-SA model.
    Attribution info must include the license as well. You must give your customer a copy of or link to the license, along with a link to the designer and the model when you send them the print.

    Etsy. When you reach $50k in sales selling say, Mandolorian helmets, Disney, Marvel, TAYLOR SWIFT stuff. You will get a cease and desist letter (look it up) or worse. You have now become Worth suing. You NOW make enough to come after. 4 years ago the cost per hour was $6 . This was printing a product for someone else. This also became a standard for reselling.

      I'm fairly sure its a law - at least it is in my place - first few pieces are considered an "art" and can be sold legally, but after that you are moving into "mass production" and then you need a license for that or you are breaking the law.

    I wanted to make and sell super hero figures but didn't want to deal with copyright so I just said "screw it" and designed some super heroes of my own. Sure they wouldn't sell as well as known characters but at least I'm 100% sure I won't get sued. haha

    There is a giant loophole at least with freely distributed models. You can charge for the *service* of printing, which is distinctly different from selling the part.
    If you plan on doing that though, you had better make sure your advertisements literally only say that.

      You would think that's a "loophole" but it's not.
      The license agreement is required to access/download the STL/files to print, if you sell time on your printer to "get around" a license you aren't getting around anything if you download files that are non-commercial and use it to make money from
      You could gift the print to a friend and they could sell it though, I think

    • @SirLANsalot
      @SirLANsalot 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      if you want to get a cheap(er) color printer the A1 is the better one to get, since it uses the same build plate as the P1 and X1. The limitation of the A1 printers is you are fixed to 4 colors only, no later expansion. Though the A1 does have ports for more AMS's so Bambu might release something later that adds more, but who knows when that will happen.
      Overall getting at least the P1S would be your best bet as you can add more AMS's later down the road and expand capabilities. The best one is to get the X1C for the easiest use overall but the price is the main sticking point.

    This is good for someone who doesn't know any better but unfortunately to say that a lot of what you're saying is quite a good bit of disinformation.And exactly the reason why a lot of these bigger companies are allowed to bully new creators with Take down orders and season desist notifications..... The fact is that a large majority of the created models out there that are part of a larger I.P r indeed protected by Fair use and parody..
    The example model that you pointed out of the little fall out. Guy with the giant head is definitely a parody. Since fallout has no power armor with giant heads and the other company that may try and claim I. P on that would be funko. Pop and they did not invent bubbleheads. So no, unfortunately, unless it is a exact 1 to 1 recreation. And even then the company would have to prove that The item was copied or a molder's made of it and at the models being sold are true reproductions and not an original creation... Perfect example of copyright and IP infringement would be the recent case of. Slice engineering VS pheatus...
    Also, the burden of proof for IP infringement or copyright violation is on the accuser, not the accused. Unfortunately, that is not the way. It normally happens on the public. File sharing sites due to the threat of litigation that the big companies throw around and bully individual artists, independent artists and the file hosting platforms....
    I had to make this comment because this type of sentiment.And this type of this information only helps propagates and the ease of bullying and frivolous frivolous lawsuit tactics against independent artists...

      Fair use virtually never applies to commercial models. It's to prevent news broadcasters from being sued just because there happens to be a McDonald's in the background when recording on site, or if you want to make backups of your PC, or if a librarian wants to ensure an out of print book is still available for people to read - stuff like that. It generally doesn't cover selling items with IP protection.
      Parody is making a joke - it's not a blanket thing that covers all derivative works. Funko is not going off of parody - they're actually getting licenses. Just pulled up a box online, they are using the Nickelodeon trademark on the packaging one of their toys, that is almost certainly being used under license.
      . . . and licensing is actually a legit way to sell things. If you can get a license from the copyright or trademark holder that allows you to sell stuff with their IP, that's perfectly acceptable. Most people don't realize that's an option. I would ask if somebody does that, they make it clear it's a licensed work.
      "and frivolous frivolous lawsuit tactics against independent artists..."
      I'd agree a lawsuit would be frivolous if I were to make things for myself, or give things to friends and family. But once you start charging for things and putting them up for sale so the general public can buy them - that's not the same, and some businesses will draw the line and start litigating once they see that.
