How's it a false equivalence? Let's slightly modify the scenario then: what if I wanted to be an author, but I didn't have time to write a story, so I just copy and pasted some shyt from Harry Potter and sold it on Amazon as a Harry Potter book by myself? Copyright infringement AND plagiarism.
He's making money off of shyt that he neither owns the rights for and is plagiarizing. Simple as that.
It doesn't matter if it's based off the series that he's copying from. He's still tracing. shyt even his "original" fan animations are traced from Dragon Ball, Naruto, etc.
Like I said, he's monetizing this shyt and trying to make a career off of it. He's already violating.
Why the fukk should we praise somebody for making low-rent copy/pastes of shyt that's already out? Doing this on his own doesn't make him any less of a schmuck, just a broke schmuck.
Acting like it's impossible to make fan-animation without tracing and shyt
. There's another dude on Twitter doing original fan animations for this that look great. It's obviously taking a while since he's not resorting to short cuts like Mastar, but it's actually worthy of respect.
shyt, Mastar's already in deep shyt with Toei anyway and has basically sabotaged his own career doing the shyt he's doing. He's gonna be forever stuck to YouTube shyt.
