Copywrite conundrum...?

Fri Oct 30, 2009, 2:07 PM
Question O' the Day.

Not to pick on any individual deviant here but as a question. Isn't it morally (and illegally) wrong to sell a piece of Fanart as a print or at a "con" or what-not. This deviant is offering as a print at an upcoming con. While it is a great work, metroid is property of Nintendo, as is everything that goes with it. I'm not saying he/she shouldn't do it, it just brings up an interesting question. Now, if permission was given by Nintendo then it's all moot but I wouldn't want something of mine being made into a fanart and then sold without me getting some of the money off it. That's not going to happen in my case but it happens all the time with popular characters. Just because a big corporation owns a name still does not make it right.

Just a thought to ponder for today...

"anything new with you" --- That's a LONG question to answer, lol. I don't remember how long it has been since last we wrote but to make a long answer short, well, I have had back surgery, was off work for 11 weeks, I'm back to work now. I remodeled the upstairs of my house into two bedrooms. Been to North Carolina and Germany for technical training... Uhh, I think there was more... But I think that's probably about as far into my life you want to go...lol.

Anything new with you?

Well, I am enjoying college life. Been doing some summer research and summer classes. Nothing too out of the ordinary. I really haven't done anything artistic in forever, lol. But life is good, I can't complain.

Would you mind if I used one of your dragon pictures to make a dragon PLZ account? :icondesudesuplz:
:icondragonplz: That one is utter fail. Nobody can use the PLZ's avatar for an emote, because it doesn't have an icon. :C

If you give me permission I'll credit you in the DevID of the account and :+fav: the picture I used with it. :)

:icondragon--plz: Look good? :icondesudesuplz:
I also had that icon added to a PLZ directory, so it'll be used a lot. :)

Thanks again Nathan, I appreciate you letting me use your art to make that account. :hug:
