>>54227154My issue is that people are claiming 'if you make fan content, that company automatically owns it and can do whatever they want with it. Including selling it!' which is not the case, despite the implication in TPCi's vague legal-disclaimer. They can totally ask you to desist and (at least in the US) have the government destroy the infringing piece under certain circumstances (even privately owned content if it's existence is known, depending the circumstances) but they themselves cannot profit off something without compensating the creator.
Then you have people poking in any loopholes they think MIGHT be applicable (like it's a foreign company, with different regulations in their homestead) without actually understanding what they're actually saying in-context because they want either Pokemon or Corporations in general to be the good guys, squeezing the money out of the 'losers' because of blind allegiance to fandom or the saddest power fantasies imaginable.
