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?

      Certainly.

      I saw in another post that AMA is apparently copyrighted (which is ridiculous, but I guess rent-seeking fuckwads are gonna do what they’re gonna do). At worst, what that means though is that if the fuckwads at Reddit care enough, they can arrange for a DMCA takedown if someone uses it.

      And unless they’re even more stupid than I cynically presume, Reddit isn’t even going to do that, since the last thing they should want to do is try to establish a precedent of criminal sanctions against forums that host copyrighted material.

        We should just have AMW anyway. Sounds way cooler, like we dgaf.

          Thats what I mean tho, can they even defend against us using it regardless of their preference on the matter?

        A short term like that would be trademarked, not copyrighted. The two have very different rules.
