It's nothing like Carlin.

It's theft of his work.

Pick one.

I read it like:

Mimic, pace of tone and body language are parts of the work.

That they don't hit the main part (I.e the humor) is just the icing.

Perhaps I'm top lenient though.

The problem with that is that you can’t protect “pace of tone” and “body language” under law.

Would you say Palworld is copyright infringement?

I'm just saying that I see that those two statements can exists at the same time without a huge mental leap - not that I agree with it - I apologize if I didn't make that clear enough in the first post!

Do you think a style is IP?
