I'm laughing. I just found there was a case where an author stated they own the omegaverse trope in court. I can't stop smiling and laughing imagining the judge, lawyers learning about omegaverse.
Context: an omegaverse erotica author1 accused another author2 of the same genre of plagiarism or something because they use the same tropes/cliche. Author2's works got removed online but managed to restore her works then filed a lawsuit against author1 for damaging their rep. In court, author1 claim she OWNS all the typical omegaverse characteristics and cliché and since author2 use them as well, they are copied author1's work. And....
.... Nothing I just wanted to share this funny thing. The lawyers, judge...

imagine being so full of yourself that you think you're owning a genre that's used and reused in so many other stories. especially when it's so shitty lmao, I feel bad for the people present in the court, it must've been embarrassing af
Honestly I think it's bold and terribly funny that the author had the balls to go on court and explain what's an omegaverse to everyone. Hearing a lawyer YouTuber say aloud what's a bite that leads to forever together made me die inside and laugh. Anyway seems like it's a usual thing the author do to cancel other writers that write omegaverse and trope similar to the stories she publishs. Attacking competitors basically.
Luckily there's a law that copyright doesn't cover tropes/cliche related to genres so her claim were dropped in court or something
the oh so origial idea that, humans would go into heat and have pheromones that would make them mate even if they didn't want to
lolz
the original concept was based on wolfs regardless of sex
LMAOOO NO FUCKING WAY THE ALPHA OMEGA CONCEPT WAS AN INNACCURATE THEORY CREATED BY SOME RESEARCHER HE LATER FOUND OUT HE WAS WRONG BUT THE IDEA STAYED.
They also claimed to be the first person who introduced the omegaverse with male x female pairing thus they own the idea and can copyright the other author... It's ridiculous
Imagine thinking you own a whole GENRE.
Seems like it wasn't the first time author attacked another over tropes... Thus is easy to conclude that Author1 does it to sabotage other writers of the same genre (canceling the competition).
girl there's no way this is real lol
Link in comments for more info.
I couldn't believe it either... But it is

brooo it's a straight omegaverse I thought it was BL T^T
Still omegaverse.
Curiosly enough while BL omegaverse is predominant in manga/webtoon and fanfic porn. Straight omegaverse is dominant in literature erotica.
Still will recommend the video xD
Just hearing a lawyer who knows nothing about omegarverse read aloud what's a
"claiming bite" made me die inside and laugh.
