How do manga artists not have problems with copyright when selling fan art?
« on: December 16, 2010, 05:55:03 PM »
They sell fan art and make commissions at conventions yet I don't think they pay copyright. How come?

cause it's fan art... they drew the characters by themselves, they didn't scan/copy and paste pictures from the actual show or anything.

The character designs aren't copyrighted, otherwise you'd get in trouble for having a remotely similar character in another anime, or a cameo of a character

What about doujinshis in Japan like in Genshiken when they make money from selling a fan comic that uses the same characters?
