@kronosthetraveler you don’t get to decide what is ‘good enough’ to satisfy the owner of an IP.
Besides … if you really wanted to then you could have asked for a license, just like any other company would have to do if they want to use their stuff.
No sane artist ever works for ‘exposure’ …
So why would we expect companies to be ‘happy’ if some twat on the internet decides they are ‘good enough’ to take their stuff and use it as they see fit just because they claim to be a ‘fan’ and wanted to give them ‘free exposure’ ?
GW doesn’t exactly need ‘free’ advertising.
Did you forget that their latest box of plastic was sold out within an hour ?
Who needs ‘advertising’ when they can practically package a turd and sell it if they wanted to ?
They are practically printing money … which is quite a feat in this economy.
These aren’t “vague threats”.
This is what any IP owner needs to do if they want to stay in control of their work, or else the judges will rule that they have given it away.
And compared to what GW could have done … they’re pretty decent.
““Disney takes the enforcement of these rights very seriously. We protect these rights so that we can continue to provide quality entertainment that measures up to the standards that our audience has come to love and expect. We welcome reports of suspected infringement of any of these rights.”
The only ‘protection’ these fan animations have is the simple fact that they aren’t on GW’s radar yet.
And like Disney … if you do get onto their radar then you better pray to the god emperor himself that he is willing to make a deal.
