Game Theory: The FNAF 7 Oopsie! Scott’s Problem With Fanart




Just a little while ago, Scott Cawthon resurfaced with a FNAF 7 teaser image that was quickly removed because – SHOCKER – it contained fan created models of the FNAF characters. If that sounds complicated, the short of it is that Scott (or rather his team) used fanart in their official teaser image. Those of us who have been on the internet for a little while know that is a big no-no. Yet if Scott owns the characters, but the fan artist owns the fanart, who has a right to the art? It’s the big copyright paradox! Today I aim to unravel that knot!
