hey guys, got a bit of question/want some insight. i mainly make vector art of pokemon based on art from the cards. a lot of youtubers have been using my vector art in their thumbnails for their videos, and i've been filing copyright strikes for them and they've been removed.
i had one person edit the vector (changing the color and adding effects like sparkles), filed a copyright strike and it was taken down. they emailed me saying that they took the thumbnail art from the card art, which is a lie and it's obvious they used my vector art. there are noticeable differences between the two even though they look very similar. he then threatened me with a "class action case" and insisted that they took the artwork from the card. i attached the screenshots and images of the youtube thumbnail, my vector, and the original card. i'm not actually worried about them doing anything because who in their right mind would sue over a pokemon youtubers thumbnail lmao.
theoretically, what the hell would even happen if this were turned into a legal case?
