That is not IP theft, that's private use. If (s)he tries to sell those coloring books, that's then theft. You're free to do anything you want with IP in privacy, it's only when selling or exhibiting to the public IP law is triggered. Knock yourself out with protected IP in private.

You're thinking of fair use, and that's the worst interpretation of it I've seen.

  • But it's true. You can do anything you want with private IP in private. It is the dissemination and distribution of IP that not yours that is the issue.
