Are fan sites not allowed to use fan art of Blizzard Characters (ex. Demon Hunter) as their backgrounds? If anyone has insight as to why this isn't done or isn't allowed on most fan sites... the information would be appreciated.
I would assume that when someone submits fan art to Blizzard, that person still owns their art and is giving Blizzard permission to display it. But if another website not affiliated with Blizzard (like fansites) wants to use it, it makes sense legally they would have to contact the person who actually drew the picture.
Yeah, up to this point, I have permission from the artist to use his fan art for my website. I also contacted Blizzards copyright department so i'll wait to hear back from them.
I will keep you guys updated if anyone else was interested when I hear back.
Cheers

Thanks!
I was going to move this to Website Suggestions or just General Discussion, but I figured if we want to get an answer I should probably leave it here.
