No Malarkey in Bikini Bottom Ownership Dispute

The No Malarkey in Bikini Bottom Ownership Dispute is a spin-off rights issue involving Travis and Golf.
==Background==
On April 4, 2020, Golfpecks256, creator of No Malarkey in Bikini Bottom, decided to distribute showrunner status to The Terrible Travis and Squidnerd as well as himself, explicitly stating "I'm not owner". However, on June 2, 2020, Golfpecks256 decided to fire The Terrible Travis from the series. Travis disputed this firing, claiming that he couldn't be fired as he partially owned the series. However, Golfpecks256 pointed to a then-provision in the Content Ownership Policy, granting creators of series the ability take back control they had transferred ownership to. 
In response, Travis introduced a proposal that would retroactively repeal this provision, thus cementing his status as co-owner of the series. However, the proposal failed, garnering only 38% support. In response, Travis decided to introduce a second proposal of a similar nature, except that this one would only apply retroactively starting June 1, 2020, rather than completely. This one passed, garnering 56% support. 
On June 10, The Terrible Travis was officially removed when Golfpecks256 continued to call for his removal and co-showrunner Squidnerd reaffirmed his support for terminating Travis from leadership. He was kept as a writer, out of a compromise between both showrunners. Despite this, Travis maintained his claim to ownership of the series, however chose not to further litigate the issue to avoid drama.
On July 18, Golfpecks256 attempted to fired Travis from the series following a argument unrelated to the show. In response, Travis decided to re-litigate his claim to ownership of the series. The SBFW administration subsequently ruled in Travis' favor, confirming that he is in fact co-owner of the series and that Golfpecks256' attempt to fire him constituted a violation of the Content Ownership Policy.
The next day, after hours of drama, Travis and Golfpecks256 agreed to equal status between themselves and Squidnerd as a compromise. A new policy prohibiting political debate in the spin off's headquarters was also instituted.
On August 24, Golfpecks256 announced a sequel spin-off to No Marlarkey in Bikini Bottom, The Political Planet, that would be owned 100% by Banana Studios. On August 31, Travis formally issued a legal challenge against this announcement, claiming that since Banana Studios holds a minority of the shares in NMIBB, it has no authority to unilaterally make a spin-off.  He claimed that any spin-off would have be jointly owned by Pineapple Entertainment, Banana Studios, and Kingshire Entertainment, or that Banana Studios would have to get permission from the two in order to make their own spin-off. 
On September 28, in a two-thirds vote, the co-owners of the series voted to relinquish their roles as co-owners and transfer ownership to the staff at large. This makes No Malarkey In Bikini Bottom the first fanon work in SBFW history to be a worker co-operative.
