Guys, I need a bit of a judgment call on this edit by Puterboy1. His edit reads
The first sentence of the corresponding trope entry over on TVT reads
I can't decide if that's close enough to call copyright infringement on it, and I'm soliciting the opinions of other mods.
EDIT: In the past I've called infringement on as little as six words, and I've made ex cathedra pronouncements a couple times that there is no identifiable amount of text too small to count as infringement. We've fifteen or so words in a row here that are copied directly from TVT, so by that guideline and precedent it should count... but I still want other opinions. Thanks.
Quote:* [[Hate Sink]]: The audience can't hate Fiona and the stepsisters due to their comedic quirks, but we can hate Shelby and her clique for being twice as worse.
