German copyright law - A short story
It is allowed to create fanart/-fiction & to use it for private purpose.
It is forbidden to make profit with it, if you do not have the permission of the original creator.

Finally understood why we barely have private sellers at conventions.
Example: You can draw a picture of a popular character. You can show it to people. You can gift it to them. But you are not allowed to sell your work if you do not have the right on the used character.
Wonder what would happen if people would start asking artists and companies for permission en masse?
Only exception: Creator is already dead (minimum 70 years).
