Even EvergreenFir has said that there are copyright issues with fanart (can't find the link, but I swear he said that), not even taking into account that the galleries violate copyright as it is having images from every little frame of the episode rather than using it as fair use. Then why has DA or wikia noy ban fanart. I do not think non-profit fanart is.in violation of copyright laws. Even if the fact that the galleries we have here for episodes commit copyright infringement because Wikia hasn't been sent a complaint and there have been no issues about it, may not be 100% serious, EF did say that there are copyright issues with it, even if they are not making money.
