              Fair use means you have the right to use copyrighted works in your own works so long as they are not the main or sole focus (I.e., selling official artwork as your own).

      TPC writes in their website legal section that any fan use of Pokemon content is technically considered an implied agreement that TPC owns all Pokemon content, including fan modifications. The method here is questionable but there is precedent for it in the law.
      Therefore TPC uses, in this case, a remix of their song made by a fan, and claims that as the original was their song, the remix is too because of the theoretical agreement.
      This angers people who were already mad at Gamefreak

      The simple explanation is that companies can request to take down your fan works. Most companies don't, because most room temperature and above IQs understand that it's literally free advertising.
      This is the non-commercial "license" granted to you.
      Though, if you're like and are selling your Pokeporn, then you'll invite TPC to come slap you down. Notice however, in his C&D, that they explicitly only target websites where he was making money from. (Draw our stuff, advertise it for free, but don't you dare make money off of it.)
      All these armchair lawyers talking about fair use and quoting sections of copyright law they don't understand, fail to understand that most precedent for Fair Use involved cases of works that weren't explicitly protected, only implicit (ie: photographs, youtube videos, etc.). You have an intrinsic ownership of things like photographs and the like, but we're not talking about that. We're talking about works derived from protected properties, like characters, etc.

      Now, let's see who's right. The furry artist making Pokemon, or Patreon suspending his account due to a C&D from TPC/Nintendo? The answer is the latter. This isn't me corpo-shilling. This is just fact. You can see it from the artist's response.
      COULD you fight it? You might be able to, if it were solely non-commercial and private. The latter part is important too, as if you're seen drawing any benefit from use of other's copyrighted works, that is a factor.
      The problem is, you don't have the legal training for court procedures, so now you're spending tens of thousands of dollars retaining someone who can.

        My issue is that people are claiming 'if you make fan content, that company automatically owns it and can do whatever they want with it. Including selling it!' which is not the case, despite the implication in TPCi's vague legal-disclaimer. They can totally ask you to desist and (at least in the US) have the government destroy the infringing piece under certain circumstances (even privately owned content if it's existence is known, depending the circumstances) but they themselves cannot profit off something without compensating the creator.

        Then you have people poking in any loopholes they think MIGHT be applicable (like it's a foreign company, with different regulations in their homestead) without actually understanding what they're actually saying in-context because they want either Pokemon or Corporations in general to be the good guys, squeezing the money out of the 'losers' because of blind allegiance to fandom or the saddest power fantasies imaginable.

              Sure, it's considered a "contract", but TOS and EULA are notorious for being overturned unlike actual contracts. (Especially the ones that demand arbitration before you engage in a lawsuit.) They have nowhere near the enforceability of an actual written contract. That's part of the layers that the show is poking fun at; these terms can add in the most asinine and stupid shit to them and they're effectively meaningless. Though, I'd imagine since you think you're not a "brainlet" that you certainly noticed that the characters who disagreed with the terms of service simply continued to use their devices without issue (unlike in the real world, where the application/device shuts down or refuses to proceed), right?
