ELI5: How can Facebook games use other companies' characters and not get sued? (Photo in comments)
gpt
The ads and games you see are for companies based in China. There is little recourse anyone in the US can do to these companies, as they are based in a country that does not respect US Copyright laws (or turns a blind eye to it). Facebook will put them up until Pokemon/Digimon/Disney/Whoever sends them a cease and desist or copyright infringement letter. You can bet they do not have "Over one million players" either. They dont give a shit, they want your information and money.
