Re: copyright stuff, EDITED: WE HAVE A RESPONSE but it sucks, basically.

Re: 11
Not to ruffle feathers, but there's a difference between copyrights and trademarks. A character's design is trademarked. Therefore, fanart easily falls under fair use laws, as long as artists aren't making money from it. Official art falls under both trademark and copyright. There's a reason why Japanese fans can make fan art all they want, but you never see them use official art on their websites.
The main reason why American companies don't go after people who use official art (though they legally can) is that it is A) far too expensive, given the amount of use official art has, especially on the internet, and B) it would completely ostracize and villainize them to the consumers, which would be a very, very bad thing. After all, you don't want to threaten the people buying your merchandise.
Also, think of it this way: I've had my artwork used (without permission) for icons here on LJ. Yes, it was fanart. I was able to contact LJ (when said icon maker refused to take it down), and they forced the user to take the icons off their journal posts. Because, while the characters in the picture were trademarked to their owners, the picture itself was copyrighted to me, since I was the artist. I admittedly make no money on fanart (nor do I have the legal right to), but it is still legally my artwork.
Again, don't want to start an argument. Just food for thought.
Re: 11
I don't mind if it's against the law or not - I don't mind if people use mine. The only thing that really bugs me about fanart is claiming it as their own, or "art theft".
Though I can understand where you're coming from, though. I'm not trying to attack you.
