Re: Morally, should fans profit from fanworks?

[(Anonymous)]

My answer to this hasn't changed for years.

I'm good with fans being paid for their labor on a commission basis, like custom artwork drawn to a client's specifications.

I'm not good with fans mass producing items of copyrighted material and profiting from them on a corporate scale, like if they took that commission and printed 10,000 copies to take to a con to sell.

This is literally the entire artist's alley at any (especially anime) con though... like, if they didn't sell their fan-inspired works (be it art, buttons, stickers, hats, bracelets, whatever) there'd be very little left in the alley because there's not a lot of unique/good non-fan made products for some fandoms.

This. Doing commissions or one-of-a-kind pieces of art and selling the originals I'm fine with because the artist is getting paid for the time and effort they put into the piece. But when they start mass-producing stuff to sell, then they're no longer profiting from their time and effort, they're profiting from the fact that they drew someone else's creations, and that's not cool.
