Recommendations of the Editorial team
“Conni plays baller games all day because her daycare center has too few staff.” “Conni has her first burnout.” “Conni learns tax return”. These are just three titles of countless memes that currently exist as a parody of the famous Conni books.
The children’s book series is one of the great literary stories of success in recent decades. The fact that they appear to be instructive by many parents and the liberal zeitgeist should not have played in the motivation to “steal” Conni cover and make their own, funny rhyme out of it.
Just wants that Carlsen-Verlagthat brings out the Conni books no longer standing out. A few days ago, the media was haunted by the fact that the publisher had already acted legally against Conni Veralberer. This is not entirely correct, as Carlsen specified in a statement.
Conni should not propagate hatred
“We do not threaten to complain, but ask in certain cases to extinguish the respective meme from the network,” said a statement in the LinkedIn business network. To do this, the publisher designed a meme with the title “Conni wants to make something clear”, so to speak.
One turns alone because of the humanistic basic attitude of the template against inhuman, racist, violent and pornographic uses by Conni. At the same time, Carlsen emphasized that the commercial use of Conni memes was prohibited. “We cannot approve these uses for reasons of copyright and trademark protection.”
So far there have been no complaints
Unlike it was said in rumors, especially in social networks, a judicial approach was not yet necessary. In addition, one does not want to limit artistic freedom in the form of satire. Conni memes have been around for many years. “We are pleased that the figure Conni is so well known and popular that it inspires a lot of people to player and funny articles on the Internet,” said the publisher. However, the applicable copyright rules should be observed.
And what is morality from the history? Conni – with her ringhirt and the red loop in the hair – apparently works as a stimulus figure for an adult audience who makes fun of gently taking more personal responsibility and integrity through the literary attempt. Do you ironic through the memes (unconsciously?) That it is a nonsensical undertaking? Do you organize yourself about the inability of the makers to think more diverse? Or does the network only play its penchant for infantility again?
In any case, there is a different reason for the soulful climb of Conni memes: AI! Since it has become increasingly easier for people to produce pictures with AI apps, such too well-known templates with new content-mostly without meaning and mind. You can also learn a lot about copyright protection, not just for Conni.
