    I wonder if other hand based clothing items are ok. White gloves clearly aren’t but what about different colored gloves? What about gauntlets? Inquiring minds want to know how far we can push this before legally we’re in the wrong.

      As long as it’s parody like this comic, then you can do pretty much whatever you want. Like how Family Guy can reference 200 random things per episode. It’s only becomes illegal when it’s serious in nature, like fan made Star Trek stuff. Because it too closely resembles the actual show. If they could monetize stuff like that, they could theoretically become a Star Trek competitor.

        Copyright law only really holds major rights holders accountable to each other. It doesn’t matter if you’re 100% in the right, if you piss off a rights holder enough they will crush you.
