Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Disney characters if I'm not making money?
Not necessarily. Even non-commercial use can infringe copyright or trademark rights.
What is fair use?
Fair use is a legal defense—not a right—and depends on factors like purpose, transformation, and market impact.
What happens if I ignore a Disney legal notice?
Ignoring notices can escalate the matter into a lawsuit, leading to significant financial liability.
Can I fight a DMCA takedown?
Yes, in some cases. We can evaluate whether a counter-notice is appropriate.
