Happy Friday the 13th! You know, this day used to mean something before social media made every single day a complete horror show... and speaking of Social Media, this week it's a more timely Social Media Meltdown! You won't be surprised to hear that the adults on the Internet that make "watching cartoons" a large part of their personality are not the most reasonable people on Twitter, giving me all sorts of fun material. Enjoy!
Another day on the Internet, another fan-made project featuring someone else's characters getting taken down. This time, the creators of the "SpongeBob SquarePants Movie Rehydrated", a shot-for-shot remake of the original SpongeBob SquarePants movie, was blocked midway through its premier, and fans took to Twitter to scream "fair use!" Buckley looks at the fallout in an all new Social Media Meltdown, and explains what falls under Fair Use and Parody, and what doesn't (like, say... shot-for-shot remakes of movies).
