Fan Games Are No Less Protected Than Fan Art By IP Laws
Or: It’s Time To Stop Defending Nintendo Unless You Hate Fan Art Too.
(This article is available in an expanded, podcast-style form as well, on YouTube.)
A common refrain when a fan game is taken down is that it’s within Nintendo’s rights. Do you know what else is within Nintendo’s rights? Sending DMCA takedowns to every single OC Remix track based directly on Nintendo’s music. What else is within Nintendo’s Legal Rights That Are Totally Always Okay To Enforce?
Say Nintendo read every article about Cosplay and sent a DMCA notice to have the pictures taken down and demanded that the cosplayer never again display or create a costume based on a Nintendo character. Is that cool with you? Because it’s not actually any different than fan games, legally speaking.
How about Nintendo sends DMCAs to the millions of pieces of Nintendo character fan art spread across Deviant Art, Pixiv, Twitter, Tumblr, everywhere? Because they could do that. Legally.
Remixes, fan art and yes, even cosplay are derivative works. The only legal difference between them and fan games is that corporations don’t go after them.

Not a spikeball this time, but still a piece I inspired: I present to you the dual horrors of Louey (Pony Island) and Flowey (Undertale), brought to you by @EnderSammi:
Commission: Sir TapTap avatar by Andrew Stewart
This one might be a little familiar since I was using it for an avatar for about two years! It’s by Andrew Stewart, and was my first commissioned artwork related to my avatar! I have a newer, more Yoshi’s Island-esque avatar I tend to use now, but that doesn’t mean I like this one any less.

Fan Art: Sir TapTap in Terraria by Bamseper
This is an oldie but still a goodie, an artwork by Bamseper. This is from wayyyy back from Terraria’s 1.0 days or so. Bamseper’s been a fan for years and a pretty chatty one. It may not be new to me, but I’d like to share all the fan art I get and this one still warms my heart to this day.

New Icons commissioned (from Christopher Jacobs)
Saw a commission post float by on Twitter and decided to snag up a couple more icons for use on thumbnails/etc, this time from @ChrsArtwork (Deviant Art here). Including my first art of Parker!
From now on I’ll be tossing up a quick post whenever I get commissioned or fan art to share.

New Channel Art
For a while I’ve been wanting to spruce up my channel on Youtube and get some nice consistent Branding™, but I’m no artist. Fortunately, lots of other people are artists, so I commissioned Klobstrosity (Tumblr link with commission contact info) for a new channel art, and…!
