"What assets can I use? Absolutely anything, whether you have the right to them or not. "


The part where you can use things you dont have the right to.

Copyright infringement jam.

xD. Not gonna do that.

basically I changed the rule because this way it allows for people to put memes in their games. Had a few games last time with rickrolls and cutout characters of real polititians. You don't HAVE to use preexisting assets you don't own, the rule is just there to let people do whatever, as long as the game is bad.

well maybe so long as it falls under fair use?

Host

yeah fair use is a good starting point. If your game looks like a parody (and it should, given that you're making bad games for this jam) then it definitely can't be mistaken with the original content. However, fair use is not the end to all creation means, and the definition is kind of blurry anyway. If a big company wants to DMCA you for using their content, they will and it's their right.
