They claim that the fan art works detract from the value of the character, a very tough claim. They have to
prove that the image or artist in question has taken the attention away from the consumer product made
by the studio, or ruins the image of the character by portraying them in a fashion which is incosistent with
the character's norm.
I wonder how did they get to Karri Aronenj and Klaus Doberman. They had good fanart until the studios
slapped a cease and desist order on them.
