DA.

As far as I can see, there are two arguments, the legal and the moral. The moral issue is very much a source of contention, and could make for an interesting debate... if the legal one didn't ultimately make the morality question moot anyway.

If it's a purely legal argument, I don't agree that the legal argument does actually make the moral argument moot at all.

But I want to understand what the position actually is, because people seem to be making several different arguments - "fandom is a labor of love and if money is involved it's no longer a labor of love", "accepting money for fanwork is illegal and therefore bad", and "accepting money for fanwork is illegal and threatening and dangerous for fandom as a whole." I don't necessarily agree with any of those arguments but there seems to be a lot of bouncing around between them.

... abortions are illegal and that doesn't keep us from discussing it. As it shouldn't

Not a good comparison, because abortion is definitely legal where I from, yet charging for illegal copyrighted content isn't...

I also don't like how you equate a potential life-threatening situation with someone's desire to get paid for their drawn pixel porn. But hey.
