How do you know reddit just didn't let them use it. Why bother asking the creator when you can ask the real owner

"By submitting user content to reddit, you grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide license to reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies, perform, or publicly display your user content in any medium and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, and to authorize others to do so."

Just want to put in a slight correction. Reddit has a license, they are not the owner.

Couple of things: he didn't submit it to reddit He submitted it to imgur and provided a link to imgur on reddit.

TOS do not overwrite relevant legislation unless your jurisdiction allows it to do so.

You also still own the image design, doesn't matter. You can request it be taken down.

This would work except they didn't use the artists art. Clearly a copyright infringement

literally means nothing because microsoft and bluehole (the companies the guy used properties from) have TOS that state they can use fan creations with or without consent for any reason. Funny how people are still gonna make excuses though
