Many people engage in photomanipulation, which is the whole purpose of sites like STPMA which I know you are familiar with. We artists who create those photomanips *don't* steal from each other, don't reuse work without permission. Taking an image from Star Trek, or an image of an actor, changing it, creating something with it is indeed fair use, and entirely different from taking someone else's fan-created work and passing it off as your own. Creating a derivative work is quite different from jacking someone's shit whole cloth and using it without permission. --TimPendragon (talk) 10:24, March 15, 2018 (UTC)
