Agreed with you there, the prints at cons bother me too. Including the fact that you are never quite sure they're the real artist.

For the hand-knitted hat, it's morally grey to me. I would say that's in bad taste if the hats were pre-knitted and mass-produced as much as they could, and stockpiled in preparation to sell. On the other hand if one person knitted a hat and 10 more requests came in from people wanting the same, I wouldn't think that's so bad.

AFAIK the hats were knitted to order, and it was on Etsy I think. So not mass-produced or anything, just a lot of people got excited about them.

Yeah, some of my local cons had that problem - booths selling prints that they just ganked off the internet. People did make a fuss about it and work to get them banned from cons, but it's still tough.

I think though, in a way (and this is where I acknowledge some measure of hypocrisy), the bigger the franchise the less I quite care about it. Like, people selling prints of Disney stuff. I mean Disney is a big chunk of what's wrong with copyright law these days anyway... I do find it a bit hard to weep for them.
