Anyone else remember this site?

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.
IQ bell curve meme with the captions "fan works are fair use" (over the cartoon person on the left), "actually fan works can only be fair use if they include criticism or commentary" (over the person on the center), and "fan works are fair use" again (over the person on the right). The three cartoon people are positioned over the left, center, and right sides of a bell curve labeled "IQ score". Excerpt from the Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios (1984) court opinion: "Thus, although every commercial use of copyrighted material is presumptively an unfair exploitation of the monopoly privilege that belongs to the owner of the copyright, noncommercial uses are a different matter. A challenge to a noncommercial use of a copyrighted work requires proof either that the particular use is harmful or that, if it should become widespread, it would adversely affect the potential market for the copyrighted work. Actual present harm need not be shown; such a requirement would leave the copyright holder with no defense against predictable damage. Nor is it necessary to show with certainty that future harm will result. What is necessary is a showing by a preponderance of the evidence that some meaningful likelihood of future harm exists. If the intended use is for commercial gain, that likelihood may be presumed. But if it is for a noncommercial purpose, the likelihood must be demonstrated."

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?

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.
