Re: Morally, should fans profit from fanworks?

[personal profile] soldatsasha 2017-11-12 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm totally fine with things like private commissions and custom one-off pieces. I'm fine with Let's Play and review monetization. (is that a word? Firefox says that isn't a word)

But I'm not fine with fanartists doing mass print runs or massive amounts of merch.

I guess for me it boils down to... there's a limited amount of money that can be earned from any given market. A few fans buying private commissions, whatever, that's not a big deal. A few thousand fans buying fan-made merch is a few thousand people who probably can't/won't buy the official stuff, and that's thousands of dollars that the actual creators of those beloved characters now aren't getting paid. So imo fuck those fanartist, they're profiting off of someone else's work and someone else's intellectual property.
