Peanuts Rights Holder Shuts Down Peanutweeter.
Sometimes TechDirt is good and sometimes it’s bad and sometimes it misses the mark by a million miles.
Rights holders had the Peanutweeter website pulled because it took existing works and then replaced what the characters were saying in the strips with random tweets. So far so what.
Problem is a lot of the tweets include swearing. Why the hell would the rights holders for the Peanuts cartoons want to see those characters swearing?
Frat boys might think this is clever but a lot of people don’t. If you want to swear then fine but don’t use somebody else’s cartoon characters to try and make it funny you fucking idiot!
