Again it is necessary to debunk nonsense posted by a moronic basher on iHub.
Markiplier has a contract with REDG for "no less than 5 years" from April 12, 2016.
Extract from the relevant Form 8-K:
"On April 25, 2016, with an effective date retroactive to April 12, 2016, we entered into a License Agreement with our director Mark Fischbach. In exchange for 50% of net revenues, Mr. Fischbach licenses to us on an exclusive world-wide basis the copyright and license to his likeness as it pertains to the character behind the proposed MARKIPLIER COMIC, a four (4) part mini series, including any other adaptations, modifications or derivative works to the likeness, including without limitation (i) printing, publishing, vending and selling in all forms printed editions of the likeness; (ii) making and authorizing others to make electrical, transcription, mechanical, synchronization, dramatic and commercial uses of the likeness in any form, including without limitation web comics, digital comics and app comics; (iii) granting rights to publicly distribute the likeness for profit; (iv) to collect all fees and royalties becoming due for any of the above; (v) prosecuting, defending, and settling any third party action or claim relating to the likeness and the respective rights of the parties therein. The term of this agreement commences on the Effective Date and remains in full force and effect so long as any Property Rights to the likeness shall remain in perpetuity for the licenses so long as it remains in circulation in print and/or digital for a period of no less than 5 years."
The contract is not therefore just limited to the 4 mini-series comics. In my opinion, it therefore includes all the "derivative works to the likeness" behind the character first introduced in those comics - which would include the wall art posters being sold at San Diego Comic Con, via the zwagbox.com website, and the foil edition posters being included with zwagbox subscriptions. It would also include any later spin-off series comics in hard copy or digital form, voice overs in promotional advertising in character etc.
