Does a hobbyist (artist/story teller) have any rights to create something
that is not for sale but just to share?
 
For example, someone writes a nice 10 page Scrooge Story.
They then send the story to an artist who draws something up.
Using a cheap copy method they then create 50-100 comics and send
them out to others who wish to have one and those others just pay
for the shipping costs (say 5 bucks) to get it to them.
 
Would something like that run afowl of Disney?
 
 
I am just thinking out loud.

Considering that Disney is a prominent part of the cheerleading crowd
for SOPA/PIPA and doesn't mind introducing a censorship regime to
protect their bottom line ... yes. Unfortunately.

Rosa is only reading and writing English. His postings are translated (as
well as the replies) by a bunch of volunteers.
Some of these volunteers can be seen on photos 1 and 3 on this page:
