Omahdon: I'm gonna say something here that may affect the future of Overwatch AWNN, and maybe the past as well Me: PleaseDon'tLetThisBeAEndingAnnouncement PleaseDon'tLetThisBeAEndingAnnouncement PleaseDon'tLetThisBeAEndingAnnouncement Omahdon: **talks about monetization issues** Me: Oh thank god it isn't a ending announcement. But ugh. This stuff about Channel Awesome isn't really....well, _awesome._ From the bottom of my heart, I really hope this channel never ends up going down the same road. You guys are absolutely fantastic. It's great you took full responsibility for this, even when you had no ill intentions in mind. Which reminds me. We're really close to the 175th comic dubbed! Yay!

It's good that you clarify this problem here. Many artist would be okay if someone dubbed their artwork, but some don't want that and I really like it that you ask the artist for permission! And it's good that you see your mistake and want to correct it! I have to say that you and your team make those comics better than they already are! Your dubbing for overwatch comics (and other fandoms too) are incredibly awesome! Also, I hope you have a nice trip in Portugal and Spain!

Dude, I've been following your work since Newgrounds, and I love what you and the others have done. I know it was hard, especially being on vacation and all, but being willing to have this level of transparency is definitely going against the recent scandals regarding online content creators. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't think what you were doing was anything like Channel Awesome or Kyotosomo, since your videos clearly had a lot of time, effort, and money put into them, so monetization didn't seem like a problem to me. Still, even though Kyotosomo is probably putting a sour taste in some comic artists' mouths, I believe your integrity, the integrity of the people you work with, and the goodwill of this video will keep AWWN going for a while without any problems. Keep up the good work.

Yo, it’s mega cool that you’ve come out about all this. I think something along these lines happened a year or two back with Homestuck comic dubbers, I’m not sure what the outcome was, but the person involved in a lot of them has moved on and become a well known person in various communities and from what I’ve understood, well loved and appreciated? Anyway, I’ll admit, mentioning monetization early on to the artists themselves should have been the first thing, but there isn’t exactly a guidebook to all this, so I’m glad that you’re going to be working with them more in the future! (I’m also glad to know you’ve always gotten permission to dub these cause also, I know that can become a thing that slips a lot of people’s minds, heh.)

Now I am not on anyone’s side or anything I’m just a curious person with little knowledge on the subject. However can it not be claimed that a person is transforming the work into their own unique thing with their voice overs? I understand how much work goes into making a comic but can’t it also be argued that voice overs of quality usually take quite a bit of work and time as well and since the artist gave uploads these things publicly, someone using them to voice over and create their own work would be transformative in nature as far as I understand things. Like I said I’m not an expert on any of these things and I’m not trying to say one side is right I’m just trying to understand a bit better so any information would be nice.
@PSColdFire6 жыл бұрын
IANAL, but long story short, no. For a work to be considered transformative (and qualify for Fair Use), it has to re-interpret, critique and/or parody the original content. Comic dubs are not transformative because they can substitute for the original comic (i.e. comic dubs show the comic in full so once you watch it, you'd have no reason to seek out the original). Just because you add original content (voiceover/SFX/animation etc.) does not mean you are transforming the work, especially if you do not change or add new meaning to the original idea. But this is an over-simplified explanation so you may take this with a grain of salt. If you'd like to know more about the intricacies of Fair Use, you should speak to an expert on the subject (such as a copyright attorney)

Basically, he was making money from his comic dubs WITHOUT informing the artists beforehand. But he clearly has good intentions, because he made sure to have the artists' permission to dub their comics, and he paid them with the money he made. The only problem was not asking the artists if he could monetize the comics as well. This video is him owning up to that, making amends, and changing his approach. (No lies, excuses, sob stories, blaming others, or playing the victim. Just good old-fashioned honesty and transparency)

That's the kind of how Kyotosomo got in trouble and tried to justify his actions though. Just went ahead and dubbed comics, sometimes with permission, sometimes without, and always monetised; all without the original comic artists' knowledge or approval. I'd prefer everyone come away from this situation feeling good about this whole thing without assuming that just because I paid them some monies that it's suddenly all good.
