I would 100% be allowed to draw an image of Indiana Jones in illustrator. There is no law against me drawing his likeness.

I don't think those links support the point you are trying to make (i assume you are disagreeing with parent). Copyright law is a lot more complex then just a binary, and fictional characters certainly don't enjoy personality rights.

harrison ford certainly does

edit - also, I wasn't making a binary claim, the person I was responding to was: "no law". There are more than zero laws relevant to this situation. I agree with you that how relevant is context dependent.

Copyright protection doesn't prevent an illustrator from drawing the thing.

but selling it is another and these ai companies sell their IP theft with a monthly subscription.

You wouldn't be able to offer a service to draw 1 to 1 recreations of Indiana Jones movie frames, though...

No, you aren't allowed to monetize an image of Indiana Jones even if you made it yourself.

That depends. There are situations where you are. Satire in particular would be a common one, but there can be others.

Rules around copyright (esp. Fair use) can be very context dependent.

Those are the exceptions that confirm the rule, as they say.

You 100% wouldn't be allowed to sell your Indiana Jones drawing services.

But would you be allowed to publish it in the same way the AI companies do?
