If any of those results would be deemed infringing we can bid farewell to all fanart ever. Likewise, to all fanfiction. Or any original work that was merely heavily inspired by previous works. Like a lot of modern fantasy is basically Tolkien fan fiction. Or is Gandalf close enough to Merlin to claim prior art that is in public domain?

From https://www.ogcsolutions.com/is-fan-art-copyright-infringement/ https://www.ogcsolutions.com/is-fan-art-copyright-infringeme... : For fan art to fall under the fair use exception, it must meet all four of the following criteria: It must be transformative, meaning it adds something new and different to the original work. It can’t be used for commercial purposes. It must not negatively impact the market for the original work. And finally, it must be created for a limited and non-exclusive audience.

It's almost weird to hear fan content world being seen as a wild west, it feels like listening to a caveman description of an Apple Store. No they're not living there, they're - have you ever used currency? The round medals that people keep in pockets and trays?
- whywhywhywhy 3y agoWeirdly some of the most vocal about this have been professional illustrators and artists who make a lot of money off what is essentially selling fanart commissions, not sure if they're understanding it could impact their work if they get what they want.
