guess it was covered a bit. skipped over that comment because i thought it was only zvan-begging related, sorrywelch wrote:He's such a tool. It doesn't matter that she did fan art based on Dragon's Lair. She did that work. You used it. Note that what Ben leaves off, or doesn't know, is that in general, as long as you're not a) making money from it b) acknowledge disney's copyrights and c) aren't doing things like porn et al with the characters, Disney is actually pretty cool with fan art. They know it's how they create new fans of the franchises. Friend of my wife's has been doing a silly webcomic with various franchises for years, but because she plays by the rules, no harm, no foul.didymos wrote:Speaking of the other Zvan, he's having a great time on twitter defending Sarkeesian for yet again taking someone else's work and not bothering to ask or give credit.Dave wrote:I believe its been mentioned before that her husband is a photographer, and there is a Ben Zvan photography in Minnesota.

Sarkeesian has no leg to stand on here, and Zvan's "educational use" attempt is moronic. Here's the thing - what the original artist would seem to be happy with would have been for anita to have fucking ASKED. At least do that.
Most artists are more angry about that than anything. It's the assumption that it's okay. Well, no, you don't get to do that. You didn't make that. Fucking ask before you get grabby.
oh well, more details out there about a cool person
(not talking about any zvans, of course)
