Tag Alias: amazon_(company) -> amazon_(copyright)

Aliasing amazon_(company) -> amazon_(copyright).

Reason: Some people (myself included) use the wrong tag.

The Amazon logo is a trademark, not a copyright. Furthermore, there's no reason for it to be a copyright tag.

Granted, I'm sure the _(copyright) tag came about not to make a legal distinction, but to specify copyright vs character or artist.

_(company) still makes more sense though.

So are you going to alias it to amazon_(company) then?

Despite what 葉月 and others might very well say if they were participating in this thread, this has absolutely no place being a copyright tag. It does not represent a fictional universe, it cannot have characters, it cannot inspire derivative works. Mass edit to amazon_(company), please.

I'm inclined to agree here for the reasons stated (I think this reverses a previous opinion I had regarding coca-cola and pocky). I think the pretense of the copytags: metatag tips the balance for me.

I'll maintain though that things like McDonalds and KFC (company) need to remain copyrights despite being companies without series attached, because their mascots have become characters in their own right and can inhabit their own and other fictional universes.

I can agree with that. Though a copyright with only one character is a bit odd - why not just tag the character only? McDonald's does have other characters, but afaik KFC doesn't.

Well, there's Colonel Sanders and there's Chicky, not that I've ever seen the latter on Danbooru.

KFC also has bisuke-tan.

Aliased to _(company) because we're never going to use amazon_(copyright) for anything else.
