Err, I'm pretty sure it's a lot more complicated than you're making it out to be.


 
On one hand, most artist are probably gratuitously violating Hasbro's copyrights and/or trademarks through their works, which probably puts their rights to the copywritten material in question.


 
On the other hand, reproducing an artistic work doesn't guarantee that it is a violation. Just ask Google or any image searching site, they regularly serve and reproduce full size copies of images they index. As I understand it, so long that a site afollows a mcertains forules (like artllowistsng tcontent havolders theio request content removed (and probably some other stuff), they're legally fin the green. I believe this is covered in the "[Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act":](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Copyright_Infringement_Liability_Limitation_Act), if you want to read up.
