Thank you so much! I received a ton of horrible comments on that video, to the point that I had to disable comments for my own mental well-being. Things like people verbally attacking me, telling me to "suck it up" and "deal with it" because "people are going to do it no matter what". I only made the video for educational purposes for the huge amount of artists and others who don't know it's illegal, to protect them from getting in trouble and to keep artists and their work safe. Making that video made me realize just how bad the situation has gotten, where people were telling me to "shut up" and calling me a "bitch" for explaining an often misunderstood or unheard of law. I can't believe so many people still think it's okay to make a profit from someone else's content.

Comic-Con actually did a panel on copyright law a few years ago or something, which I watched on Youtube sometime after I posted my video, so they have actually talked about it at the convention and explained what is okay and what is illegal. My biggest issue with it all is that when someone posts a lot of fanart, especially when they do commissions or sell merch or prints of copyrighted characters, they develop a huge fan base of all the people who are fans of that game/show/series/comic/whatever it may be. So then, all these artists that are earning a profit from fanart also have huge fan bases that will defend the artist aggressively, so the artist is convincing all their fans that it's okay to earn money from someone else's work, and anyone who bothers to argue gets attacked by the fans.

He might have been from DeviantART, but I don't remember for sure. And oh wow, people actually said that in the comments? I don't know whether I bothered to read them or not because the video was so serious and clear that I thought there'd be no way anyone would be arguing about it when the speaker is an actual lawyer. Just because there's a good chance you'll get away with it doesn't mean you will, and it doesn't mean it's okay or right.
Yeah, some fans are so loyal that they ignore all common sense and morals to defend their idols no matter what, even when a quick Google search clearly states they're wrong. Artists need to set a good example because their fans look up to them for guidance and inspiration.
