It always sucks when this sort of thing happens. Sorry man.

Yeah I’m not doing this lol

There should be a spot between “everybody can use and claim any idea as their own and make money off of it” and “corporations with virtually limitless resources control all IP and no matter how small or innocuous a use of that IP is, they are the arbiters of copyright, trademarks, etc”. How is this controversial?

There should be a balance. The way things are now, and have been, is simply not balanced.
