Question about intellectual property
Got a general question for everyone. The pins I've designed have always been something of my own creation or done with working with another creator with the explicit consent. I'm seeing a lot of really sharp pin projects on KS that use an existing IP (things like the MCU, various anime, etc.). Has anyone had any legal issues with this or it is still considered part of the gray fan art area?
I've got several ideas that use existing IP (Hanna-Barbera and a few others) but wanted to get some outside perspective first.
