MrManovar6 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 https://www.deviantart.com/brony-commentator/art/New-Pegasus-Bounties-715665164 I've heard of this Fallout Equestria fanfic. Never read it though. Shouldn't the 'artist' here have first asked the mod creators for permission or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm not aware of any requirement to do that, I guess it might be copyright infringement but then most fanfiction is, how many creators of fanfictions based on commercial IPs bother getting permission from the rights holder? my guess would be next to none.

Radioactivelad Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Technically the law allows copyright holders to stamp down on any unauthorized works. Fair Use is pretty much a non-concept that Copyright Lawyers have been trained to destroy with laser precision. However, when it comes to fan art, most elect not to care as sewing a 15 year old over their mediocre fanart is only going to destroy their public relations. Plus it's literally free advertising and some companies like Blizzard really enjoy drawing in Fans as employees, as they're less likely to cause a fuss about things like wages and treatment. Also I'm sure Someguy, not having the lawyers of a triple-a game company to begin with, has way better things to do than police fanart of something he made a decade ago.
