Premium Content Copyright question?

:iconworksofheart:

Hi everyone!

I think some of us have seen the new Beta for 'Premium Content' passing through our mailbox, and I was wondering as to how far one is allowed to sell fanart. I always thought fanart was, in itself, illegal - but only allowed shallowly because most artists don't gain a financial profit out of it. (i.e. You are not allowed to SELL fanart. That they generate views is a more delicate question)

So, my questions are:
- Are you allowed to sell fanart through the Premium Content?
- If no, how will DA catch the bastards that try to do that (or sell any other DA's work for that matter)
- If yes, will the copyright owning companies allow this or is this your OWN responsibility?

I think I already suspect what the answer will be, but I just thought to throw this out:)

Hiya! This forum is for making suggestions; when you have a question about the site (including its policies), please see our Need Help? thread which will tell you who to contact about it :)

I do know that, when you think a premium content deviation violates the policy in some way, you can report it as normal with the 'report deviation' button, and there'll be a 'premium content' reporting category :D however I cannot comment on what the policies are exactly, the Help Desk can answer this for you :)

FAQ #801: Are there any rules for the Forums? :lock:
