Valve shits on its fans, and their art.

I receiver legal notice from Valve today about 2 Botkiller Spy Heads I produced. It's fan art because it's not something that even exists in their game. It's my depiction of a fun trinket, and they claimed copyright. Unfortunately I don't have a financial leg to stand on, or else I'm humiliate them up an down all across th internet. FUCK YOU VALVE, AND FUCK YOU Dawn Dempsey!

Here's the email:

"Valve loves its fans and fan art!  We just can’t allow you to make money or profit off of our designs without license outside of the community base.

In your case, we do not authorize the use of the copyrighted image of the Team Fortress Botkiller Spy.

Take a look around our communities; there you’ll find artists like yourself displaying their talent and sharing their love for fan art.  Further, if your art work gets the greenlight from the community, then you can sell your work on the site!

All the best!

And here is what they think is taking out of their pocket:

Something they don't sell, or even have in the game.
