I sue people for copyright infringement frequently. It's rare that I have a defendant whose defense is "the internet is full of other infringers, why should I be held responsible?" Never have they won. This debate would go better if people didn't base it on assumptions they gleam from the world around them, but with regard to the actual law and not specious reasoning like "well, they did it too!!"


I'd love to be the lawyer of the first anime artist then.


Why engage with nearly 200 years of copyright jurisprudence when you can just insist you are right because anime?


No, I can insist they are copying my style, which is anime.

Or maybe you cannot copyright style, and all those apps do fall on legal ground?


Style is not copyrightable. Please make an actual effort to engage with copyright law and not just ask me smarmy questions because you think you are right because you've made no efforts past looking at things immediately in front of you.
