[edit]

Fan art may, depending on the situation, not actually be a copyright violation. Some cases, such as the now infamous Penny-Arcade "Strawberry Shortcake" image, are quite firmly in the realm of satire and thus may be considered protected speech.

Controversy

[edit]

"Some people in the art community believe that since fan art is based on someone else's original content, it doesn't deserve to be considered "art." Their definition of art entails that it must be an expression of the artist, and artwork that is derived from already-existing content cannot fulfill this."

This section needs clarification & a reliable source. Who is the "art community?" Without context, it sounds like this is a position of art history experts, professional artists, and/or people who are otherwise prominent in the field, but it is based on a fanwiki citiation of a single Livejournal comment from a random user in a post about fridge magnets from 2003.

I propose that this section be removed. Foxgloved (talk) 00:16, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
