I was going to write an article on the Legality of Fan Art for today’s post. During my research I ran into this video. This talk is way more informative than my article ever could be. Not to mention the guy speaking is a lawyer and has a lot of experience with Copyright Law.
I hope this helps you get a better grasp on Fan Art Law.
What I find interesting is that a lot of commissions are created illegally (infringe copyright laws), but people still do it. My question to you is, should making money with someone else’s character be illegal? Have you done it? Who does it hurt?
