Yeah, this is one of the reasons why the Disney Marvel thing worries me - Disney is notoriously fierce at protecting copyrights and trademarks and Marvel has been very relaxed because fan art is a big part of recruiting new artists and retaining current ones. I really don’t want to see someone made into a test case as was the fear lo these many years ago!
I’m a fic writer and crafter so monetising my hobby is anathema to me, but I have no legitimate problem with people putting out the tip jar, except that fear ingrained as a young fan that THE CREATORS will see it and sue!
