- The Backrooms concept originated from an anonymous 4chan post and was developed by a fan community, not A24.
- A24 has issued copyright infringement notices on fan creations on RedBubble, many of which predate the movie or aren't related to it.
- Fans are upset because A24's actions target generic Backrooms-inspired artwork, such as liminal space images and fan-made lore, not just movie-specific content.
- The author praises A24 for supporting Kane Parsons and his creative control but urges reconsideration of overreaching copyright enforcement.
- Kane Parsons is aware of the situation and plans to discuss it with A24, while the community fears broader impacts on indie games and creators.
