Idk, I see where it isn't courteous but the extent to which that is a problem is very subjective. But I don't really get some of these expectations. Like what, people want ayu to pay people? I guess.

Ayu and avex probably don't see it as a big deal. And in reality it isn't. They own it. And laws are not solely how you should judge issues, but here I think they're reasonable. Especially because the arts are so complicated. Fanart wouldn't even exist without originals. The owners can edit fanart to fit what they want and it's morally okay IMO. But people have feelings and they can feel however they want about it.

We have our nice internet etiquette. But ayu doesn't need to give money to any fan for coloring a photo or adding some designs to the A logo. It would be the same if she were only making a little money as well. It's the same for authors who literally sue fans for fan fiction. They could afford to let the fans sell the fan fiction they worked hard on, and they appreciate fans making fan fiction because it's free publicity, but they feel entitled to the original work they put out and therefore, any derivative that only exists with that work.

It would be nice for ayu to give credit just based on common manners, but she sure as hell doesn't owe anyone money lol. And most likely, she just isn't even thinking about that as some sort of issue and doesn't view it as rude out of ignorance of that point of view.

Y'all can complain to her though since it's such a problem and she's so disrespectful. It's happened multiple times, so if you feel some type of way about it, now would be a good time. Or complain about how cheap it is. In all seriousness though, if you do think she should maybe consider another viewpoint, you could tell her. It's just nothing to make her seem like a villain over.
