It's foolish to discuss infringement in a gray area of the law. All of these fan creations are infringing on the original work's copyright. At the same time, using Koikatsu to create art and profit from it is also infringing on Illusion's rights.
Moreover, regardless of the original intention and the role that it once played, the intellectual property system has developed into an elitist knowledge barrier for ordinary people. We're not capitalists or big company shareholders, so why do we need to be so aware of copyright? Isn't it absurd that as users of pirated content, we criticize whether an author plagiarized or not?
PS. In any mature rule-of-law country, creative ideas and concepts cannot be patented, and using other people's ideas to create your own work is not necessarily considered infringement.
PPS. Fujino's work is cool, and so is YuukiS's. I like them both. If Fujino could use more of YuukiS's great ideas in his games, I would be happy to see it.
