The downside of this method is that occasionally websites that are perfectly legitimate are taken down.

  • "I would not have agreed to the recreation of the tattoo by an animator,"
  • According to Escobedo's lawyer, tattoo artists have full rights to their work, unless a written contract specifies otherwise.

  • The Hangover 2 featured Mike Tyson's facial tattoo on one of the movie's main characters, sparking a lawsuit from the tattoo artist responsible. Although the case was settled for an undisclosed amount, A California District Court judge suggested that a win was likely.

    This article discusses the qualms of art ownership and license agreements. After a tattoo has been applied onto a person, who retains that tattoo's ownership? One would argue that the tattoo belongs to the wearer, but it would seem that might not be the case. In fact, having the rights to feature the likeness of a person is no longer enough if that person has a tattoo. That person's body being considered a canvas of sorts and therefore allowing the tattoo artists to retain their creative rights.

    If we're talking about fanfics, we can't avoid the topic of slash, I think. Slash fanfiction has been around since the original Star Trek, where fans would write stories about the possible relationships between Kirk/Spock. With the advent of the internet, however, fanfics of all kinds now have a place to be archived shared widely, but it's important to know where most of it began.
