(Anonymous) 2011-12-07 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)After a ton of research, I don't think that fanfiction violates copyright. Additionally, I think the assertion that it does, by various groups and people is antithetical to the original purpose of copyright. That said, I still think disclaimers are a good idea, but the OP is right. The phrase, "No coypright infringement intended," is stupid. It offers you no legal protection.
I tend to list the creators of characters and universes that I'm playing with, and often add that I believe my fanwork to be compliant with all copyright law. Sure, saying that doesn't make it true either, but at least my position is out there. It's not some vague statement that really I didn't mean to infringe on your copyright. It's the assertion that what I'm doing is legal.
There's not a lot of good case history for the issue, because this type of copyright issue doesn't usually end up going through the author, or even the website the fic was posted to. It goes through the webhosts, who are by and large, trying to do the expedient thing, which means responding to cease & desist notices with ordering people to take down the potentially infringing material or their website will be shut down. We won't get good case law until someone starts threatening a webhost who will force them to take it to court.
