I noticed your comments on some of Admiral Caon's pages. As he has since removed the artwork in question, I've deleted your comments.

If, now or in the future, you feel your artwork has been used inappropriately, I encourage you to directly message the admin team. However, I strongly advise against the use of terms like "art theft" and other inflammatory language. Not only such things go against the Participation Guidelines ("Be civil"), but they may be factually incorrect. In particular, one comment stated in part "I have noticed various other articles ripping off my work and selling it as something totally different." While this may have simply been a poorly chosen word, no one on SWFanon is selling anything, and a transparently incorrect claim like that undermines the rest of your argument.

Copyright law in the United States allows Fair Use of copyrighted works without the permission of the original creator, and even against the express wishes of the creator. By policy, the admin team here never speculates on whether a particular use is fair use or not (unless it blatantly isn't), and FANDOM's policy is to honor takedown requests from the original creator of a work, but, if you'll pardon the glibness, it isn't theft if it's legal.
