For example:

CMV: I have a post on c/changemyview

Is there any issue with like copyright infringement or any other quirk to my understanding?

    I say use whatever the fuck words you want to use.

    IMO the only relevant issue is whether or not they accomplish the task of communicating the thing you wanted to communicate in the way you wanted to communicate it. If so, then they’re as right as they need to be, and any objection anyone else might have is only your problem to the extent that you allow it to be. If you care what they think then it matters, but if you don’t then it doesn’t.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t non-commercial use of trademarked stuff ok? I was under the impression that it only counts as copyright infringement if you somehow profit from it, which would not be the case in most communities here.

    (I’m not a lawyer tho so I could just be wrong)

    It disturbs me that we live in a time when the idea of words being copyrighted is one even worth thinking about, and that people would feel that they may have to self-censor their expression out of fear of it.
