As I reflect on the thoughts that the reading of these comments brought forward, I am worried it might diverge too far from the intention of thread. Nonetheless, for the sake of engagement: By my understanding, copyright as a concept was instituted with the intent to encourage creativity. By protecting the ability of the creator to profit off his work, there was a greater motivation for someone to create. However, this protection was not intended to be infinite; after a period of time, copyright would expire, and others would be free to use the IP as they liked. The justification for this goes back to the nature of human creativity, in that it is always derivative; no idea is ever ex nihilo. Since human creativity is always inspired by something experienced or learned, no one can claim exhaustive ownership over their creation. Consequently, as the creator takes inspiration from the creations around him, he should not expect to restrict the inspiration others take from his creation. This is far from a complete analysis, however; it does not consider the larger topic of motivation in creation (i.e., why does a person create), only its attempted stimulation.

"* A new event is coming - Capsule-Crazy Gensokyo! This event has two parts, and Extra will start on 9/27. It also comes with a banner that returns Festival Friend Seija Kijin, and debuts everyone's favorite thunder drummer, Raiko Horikawa, as well as everyone's favorite outside-world esper, Sumireko Usami! An Ascending Step-UP option is also available." What's this event? Is that one of the events we skipped?

Holy shit they are extremely overdue (like about a year of you give listen to the guys from the subreddit community), but now I think I can finally die peacefully*. Also does this mean we are getting the Horismriver March event next? We did skip that one, even if it was supposed to come long ago * unless I am gonna wait for Chimata too

Finally, two characters we've been waiting for are arriving in global now! Really happy to see Raiko and Sumireko! They may have been way overdue, but it's satisfying and a relief to know that we can play as them now! We can have their cool costumes too!
