So, I finally got a response from them. Unfortunately, it was a blanket, automated response slapped with a name on the signature. I have replied, further elaborating on my questions as the don't seem to be actually checking the email. I also checked with a personal artist friend of mine who also sells fan art (also of Disney), in regards to Fair Use, and agrees my art on Redbubble should NOT have been taken down, and not handled in the way they are currently. So...below is my reply. Let's see if I actually get an answer. "This doesn't entirely answer my question though. 1. Out of 300+ other works of this character on your site, why was mine targeted? 2. Of the 11,000+ other works with Disney tagged alone on Redbubble, why was mine targeted? 3. Did Disney contact Redbubble in association to MY WORK SPECIFICALLY? Because according to the first email, it was "due to past complaints", which leads me to believe this was not a cease and desist to my fan art specifically. OR did another user report my work for some reason another? If Disney hasn't approached about my art specifically, to my understanding, it is still under fair use/parody since it is my interpretation, and a combination of franchises that would not have happened otherwise. 4. If Disney is taking down Marvel fan art, why has my Spiderman post been up since June with no issues? 5. Why was my art removed ENTIRELY instead of just having products disabled, or the art set to private? Deleting it entirely is a bit extreme, and quite frankly, uncalled for. While I appreciate actually getting response, I would like my questions answered as this is not legal advice. Now, I love Redbubble products, but if this is how you treat your customers and art-providers, I will take my business elsewhere. Thank you, Samantha"
