The Portal link is down. What happened? Did someone get busted for trying to sell Portal prints?
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteI always have such mixed feelings about this stuff... I think a lot of people do. Where does fan art become copyright infringement?
ReplyDeleteI take both sides.
I don't like it when the owner of an idea becomes the "bad guy" just because they want to hold onto their own work, but I don't want to squash creativity.
Typically, companies are cool with one-offs. It's when people mass-produce an item that they get a cease and desist.
ReplyDeleteJohn is dead-on here, the trick is selling pieces that are original works; from what I've researched that approach is typically safe. Quality, not quantity...
