Question

I want to start painting murals (specifically for nurseries). I'm great at copying... movie characters, book characters, etc. Is it illegal for me to reproduce another person's work if I only charge for labor and supplies, not for the artwork itself? I rather not be sued by Disney :) Thanks!



Answer

Disney, like all companies that own intellectual property, vigorously protect their rights and will/must send out cease & desist letters followed by lawsuits once they are aware of infringing acts. Your best option is to paint murals that are your original work, characters and scene; however, you can contact the persons designated in the below website to gather information on how much licensing would cost for your business idea: https://disneystudiolicensing.com.
