Sunrise demands removal of fanart, screencaps etc.

Not exactly Code Geass related, but Sunrise. Still an interesting read though.

Though the article is safe, the website and images is NSFW; wait till you get home guys.

I understand they have the right to 'protect' their work, but ugh... v__v (Though I do agree on the banning of KuroKami...)

Does this even affect the western part of fandom? I dunno, I know the Kingdom Hearts fandom in Japan is more or less underground due to Disney being jerks, but Western fans more or less don't get harassed for drawing stuff due to "fair use" and all that jazz. But I have no idea, honestly.

Then again, I doubt this would affect fandom either way other than putting up passwords for websites like the KH Japanese fandom has done. I wonder how CLAMP feels about this (I know they just designed the characters, but considering their background... I'd be a little bit insulted).

You've brought up an interesting issue. Yes, what about CLAMP ladies? Something is telling me that they will be pretty pissed off.

I hope so =0 CLAMP ladies were doujin drawers after all...
And I really don't understand why fanarts should be banned - ah but sunrise did print a few doujins officially right? (Like the yaoi doujin "on nom mom")

That "sunrise" on doujinshi is a name of printing company in Japan, not that "sunrise" the anime developer^^;

Pissed off which way? My understanding is that CLAMP does not like having its official artwork up on the web and being used by fans. They don't enforce it or make threats about it the way other studios might, but that is their stated preference.
