As a huge Tintin fan I find one of the interesting things about it is how few Tintin images you can find on the web. I expect that is because they have lawyers contacting sites that put up copyrighted images.
Yes, the copyright owners are known in the fan community for being really aggressive and hunting even harmless not-for-profit fan works. Which makes me sympathize even less with the two last paragraphs in the post (not that I would sympathize much anyway).
