hey @cults3d.bsky.social what the hell? MGM does not own the english word "stargate" - they own the scifi-franchise that happens to have that word as a title... I'm totally on board with Copyright enforcement, but restricting *trademarked* words on *search* ? Are you Insane?!?

@legaleagle.tv I don't know if this is an interesting enough story, but in case it is, my read is Cults3d is either suffering an overreach by MGM or is deciding to comply in advance. (and on an irksome note: comments elsewhere are already conflating copyright with trademark)

and just for clarity for any lookers on, because I'm getting comments elsewhere to similar effect: - yes, the *vast majority* of the models that would be returned by that search query are *COPYRIGHT* violations, and MGM is well within their rights to demand to take down, and Cults must comply
