What is wrong with copyright laws? Lots. We recognize the importance of copyright, and the benefit it holds for the creator and their family, but sometimes countries go too far with it, and it can take decades for a work to enter the public domain. How many works have been lost because the copyright holder effectively killed distribution of the work? Today we talk about how the current system is broken, and how it can be fixed.

Cats with Swords

In-Fur-Nation - Sun 24 Feb 2013 - 03:59

Sofawolf Press have announced that Caterwall, a new full-color young adult graphic novel by Spain Fischer, will be arriving this summer. Originally announced last spring, this sword & sorcery tale follows the adventures of Pax, a feline would-be adventurer. Pax is “ the orphaned son of the kingdom of Katia’s greatest knights. His family name and reputation has been tarnished, however, and Pax is to blame. When the young cat intercepts troubling news from the neighboring kingdom of the dogs, Dewshire, his warnings fall on deaf ears. Banished from Caterwall after insulting the Dewshire diplomat, Pax must decide if he will try to stop the dangerous tide approaching Caterwal l– or turn his back on the home which cast him out.” The story will be told in a series of three 100-page graphic novels. We’ll admit to some confusion regarding the web site for this project. Some promotional posters released at Further Confusion and elsewhere give the web site as www.caterwall.net, which leads you to a “Coming Soon” page with an illustration. More actual information, however, can be found at www.caterwall.com, which includes artwork and background write-ups.

Young dumb me got a real fur tail; what do I do with it now?

Furry Reddit - Sun 24 Feb 2013 - 01:37

Everyone does dumb things when they're young. We're warned about drugs and alcohol, but there's a lot of things that are pure evil that no one warns you about. I have friends that are into renaissance things, so fur and such were just normal. I'd just started getting into the furry fandom and I saw people wearing tails around. I saw a booth at a Renaissance Faire where they were selling them, and my friends said "If you want one, get one". It sure beat the feather boa I'd been using, and would be great for my neke jin cosplay and matched the tail for my furry character. I didn't really think about where it came from. I just thought, hunter/trapper, natural thing. It's like being a meat eater, you know that burger was alive once, but you don't think about it, otherwise you wouldn't be able to eat it.

So recently I just watched this video. It is NSFW NSFL and one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen, it's not like a scary movie where you can tell yourself it's all fake, it's a live animal that really suffered needlessly, still alive and looking around terrified after it's fur has been hacked off. It's something that happens every DAY. Some of them have collars. Some of them are people's PETS that are being mutilated. And I feel kind of sick now. https://secure.peta.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=3957 NSFW NSFL

A lot of furries are really pro animal and vegetarian. It's kind of a contrast to other people who go to places like Furfest not in furry suits but instead fur pelts. I'm even more confused about this divide now. If we like animals, why do we do this to them? Predator and prey is one thing but... pets? You don't predator family :(

So now I have this tail in my room. It's a severed limb from some poor creature who was probably tortured the same way as the one in this video. And I feel horrible, it's my fault that something went through such horrors. If I didn't buy it, and other people didn't buy these things, these animals wouldn't be tortured. But I contributed to the pain machine. "I didn't know" doesn't un-do the torture, "sorry" doesn't give the animal it's life back. I never bought fur before or after this, you can be sure I won't ever do it again.

But the issue still remains, I have a tail in my room, an embodyment of what was done. And I don't know what I should DO with it. Giving it to someone who would enjoy it seems wrong because it's something bad that shouldn't be enjoyed. Throwing it away seems wrong too. Maybe bury it and have a little funeral? Maybe that's just weird. But maybe it's what I should do.

I'm kind of an emotional mess right now.

Edit: Yes it's a PETA video. No I'm not a PETA sponsor or anything like that, I saw the Pen and Teller Bullshit episode that reveals that they do evil too. If you haven't seen it you can easily Google it, it's a good watch. The skinning/abuse video was just a catalyst for my feelings right now, I don't really want to look for other skinning or animal abuse videos, we all know they're out there.

Not Every Story Has a Happy Ending

Ask Papabear - Sat 23 Feb 2013 - 18:47
Dear Papa Bear,

I'm a polyamorous fur with a bit of a problem. You see, about a year ago, I met a wonderful, wonderful friend, whom I will be referring to as Eri, at a con. We talked online most days and developed a very close relationship. Eri was in a relationship with someone else, who will be called Scorpion.

Now, about a month or two ago, both Eri and Scorpion came up to visit, along with several of our other friends for a birthday party. Scorpion and I spent some time together, and the next day, told me she was also polyamorous and found me attractive. I reciprocated the feelings.

With Eri's permission, we began a friends with benefits type of relationship. I became extremely close to Scorpion, and have remained so to this day.

The next month, the both of us took a road trip to see Eri, as she lives far away from the both of us, and I began a similar relationship with her.

However, soon after this happened, Scorpion and Eri broke up. Scorpion is somewhat indifferent to the situation, although is not fond of some of the recent choices Eri has made, but Eri was really hurt by this. And I'm caught in the middle.

My feelings for both of them are different, though. With Eri, she is my best friend that I happen to have sex with, but it's a more friendly type of relationship. I act as a sound board for her to vent out ideas and we tell each other everything. Scorpion is different. It started out as just a fling, but has become more emotionally charged, and I've found myself falling hard and fast.

We've both discussed becoming more exclusive with each other, and are both quite open to the idea. The problem here is Eri. She's still very hurt by what Scorpion did, and has told me that she views me as her replacement. 

I don't want to hurt my friend, but I very much want to be with Scorpion. Is there a balance between this, or should I just follow my heart?

Pounce

* * *

Dear Pounce,

While there is nothing inherently wrong with polyamorous relationships, the problem with them is that they become complicated. Most people have a hard enough time maintaining a stable relationship with even one person, let alone two or more. Yours is the perfect example. Although you like both Eri and Scorpion, you now have a break-up between the two of them. Therefore, you no longer have a working polyamorous relationship. What you have is your relationship with Scorpion, and then you and your friend-with-benefits, Eri. This is no longer a true polyamorous trio.

Now, according to your letter, you are in love with Scorpion, but you see Eri as more of a friend that you have sex with. Eri, however, wants you as a replacement for Scorpion. If you don’t feel for Eri the same way she feels about you, you need to tell her this. You need to tell her you see her as a friend.

Frankly, what is likely to happen here is that Eri, already upset about Scorpion, will see you as taking Scorpion’s side and she will be upset, which could, in turn, mean the end of your sexual relationship, at the least, and possibly your friendship, as well.

BUT, if you take Eri’s side, then Scorpion will be mad and that would cause a rift between you and Scorpion.

At this point, it’s a mess, let’s face it. You can try and salvage it by telling Eri you still want to maintain your relationship because you feel it is separate from what you and Scorpion have, but chances are this will not convince her.

Based on what you have said in your letter, unless you can get Eri and Scorpion to make up and be friends again, this trio is done and you’ll have to choose between Eri or Scorpion. Since your heart is with Scorpion, that is the way to go. You can tell Eri how you feel and that you don’t want it to end, but brace yourself that in all probability you will end up losing Eri.

Not every story has a happy ending; not every relationship works out. I hope it does for you, but if it does not, then you will need to be strong and go on with your life with Scorpion only.

Good luck,

Papabear
