After countless critical comments about social media because of the treatment of Carlsen Verlag with imitation or AI-generated Conni-Memes, the Hamburg-Bookmakers specified their procedures. “We are not in danger of complaining, but in certain cases we ask to extinguish the respective meme of the network,” the publisher said. In particular, it is about inhumane, racist, violent and pornographic use of the figure.
As a publisher of the Conni Books, who have been accompanied by children in daily life for more than 30 years, such as empathy, friendship and solidarity, Carlsen could not tolerate such memes. The same applies to the use of Conni-Memes for commercial, advertisement, marketing and similar purposes: “We cannot approve this use for reasons of copyright and trademark protection.” However, a judicial approach is not yet necessary.
Memes generated with AI
Conni, the girl with the ring shirt and the red loop in her hair, is one of the most popular characters in German language rooms. This has also caused more and more to social networks that are usually visited by Memes generated by AI that come into Conni style. The excitement was great according to it when the publisher asked in a press release in mid -June whether it replied to violations of copyright, brand or title legislation.
Verag is held on satire against the right to the right
However, Carlsen is against accusations to ignore artistic freedom or the right to satire. Conni -Memes have been around for many years. “We are happy that the Figure Conni is so well -known and popular that it inspires many people for players and funny articles on the internet,” the publisher said. Nevertheless, there are clear rules “that are easy to understand if you put yourself in the position of the authors”.
