Hi I am just wondering is it safe to make games or webcomic based on disney owned characters? I am really into some obscure 90's cartoon like Talespin but I fear making any content based on that due to copyright. Still, creators like Akabur make content based on Alladin for years, seemingly without problem. Is he just lucky, or what?
Can I make Disney related content? (copyright)

Do you really think disney has to do with taking care of all the porn games/webcomics that run on their products ?
The only reason you might have problems is if you create something good enough to compete with the original works, which will never happen.
But in any case, obviously doing something with the products of Disney is not legal, especially if you monetize it and you don't ask before ^^
It is relatively rare for it to gain momentum, and most of the time you will simply be asked to stop your activity.
The best example that comes to mind would be pokémon Uranium and Nintendo.

If you want to create Disney porn, your best bet is to be from Russia or someplace Disney will have trouble reaching.
Basicly ur not allowed to profit or they come in and shut it down I'm pretty sure they don't own rights to mulan but they own intellectual property which by their definition is using the likeness

To avoid infringement, do not brand your game with Disney names. In Akabur's games, he calls it Princess trainer or Witch trainer and does not call them Jasmine or Hermione. Also, he doesn't exactly copy the art, rather he stylized his characters with only the slightest semblance. There's sufficient protection through fair use for parody games, as long as they do not intend to be sold (or compete with the copyright holder's market/merchandise).

Basically this, unless you have sufficient evidence pertaining to Fair Use/Parody. Courts that rule in that direction are a rarity, though, as most of them are getting their palms greased by the studios brass. Just look at Pierrot and Toei going after YouTube Anime commentators/reactors/reviewers featuring their content, even though it falls under Fair use (and promotes their content all the same, it's not like they're teaching people how to pirate their content).
The one exception to this as Disney starts getting older, is that more and more of their Copyrights/Trademarks are going into the public domain (see the new Winnie the Pooh horror movie.), so you'll probably start seeing more and more Disney content as the years go by.
100% Mickey is aging out of their copyright lol but in the case of disney if u look up their legal terms u can't have your character even based offf of theirs or any similarities... akabur never "sold" the game just his time not because he changed them ...
