Reminder that the largest brands regularly and shamelessly steal from small independent artists to sell for profit, knowing that the artists don't have the resources to do anything about it: https://web.archive.org/web/20230726050616/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/01/arts/design/digital-art-copyright-marvel-panini-wizards.html

And these are the companies trying to convince you that pirating big name media for your own personal use is theft.
