I'm not a fan of AI art, but I worry that some of the recent AI copyright cases will chill human-made transformative expression (a.k.a. fan works).

Disney, Universal, and WB are suing Midjourney for allowing users to post #fanart of copyrighted characters. MPAA has criticized OpenAI's Sora 2 for essentially the same thing.

Why wouldn't they go after DeviantArt, Pixiv, and Instagram next? Or worse - individual fan artists?

By contrast, a commercial use is presumptively unfair - commercial actors should assume they need to get a license and compensate the rightsholders.
"Transformative use" isn't all there is to #fairuse - it also matters whether a use is commercial or not.

In the famous Betamax case, the court said that NC use of a copyrighted work is presumptively fair, so the burden is on the copyright holder to show that a NC use is likely to harm the market.
Like, there's no monoculture like there was in popular music where everybody heard the same Top 40 on the radio.

I know PMD fanfic is a thing, and I've written some myself, but I'm utterly unfamiliar with most other works in this space (except for the parent show of my actual play podcast).
What's interesting about the #PMD fandom is that there isn't a "canon" of fan works everybody's seen/read/heard of. I came across a list of the purportedly most famous PMD fanfics on Reddit, and I didn't recognize a single title.

Have you heard of the Creative Commons non-commercial licenses? This is the one I usually use for my fan art:

creativecommons.org/licenses/by-...

There's also one that only allows sharing/reuse without changes, if that's of interest:

I just found out that Venmo's rates are lower (1.9% + 10Β’) vs. PayPal's 2.59%...?

Certain crypto networks (particularly USD-pegged stablecoins like Tether) may have lower transaction costs in general

Have you considered either of these?
I was a kid when I first listened to this! ☺️

[disclaimer: this is just my personal opinion and interpretation of the law and is not legal advice]
Part of that is legal reasons - ideas like PokΓ©mon species, moves, items, locations, etc. can't be copyrighted, only their visual designs, story arcs and specific, developed characters. So text-based fanfics with OCs + original stories can avoid stereotypical copyright/fair use issues entirely.
Also, I'm with you on original vs. derivative fanfics - I've tried writing both kinds. The original stories are easier to write and I feel like my own voice shines through better. The "derivative" ones are challenging bc I have to remember details from the games and reinterpret/transform them.
Oooh! You might enjoy my actual play podcast @paththrutime.pmd.social and our sister show @notascratchcast.bsky.social then 😁

Fully original world + characters!
Oh there's a guy too

Anyway, love to see my Pikachu brothers and sisters making music! βš‘πŸ’–
