Unfortunately I have studied this.
So we'll just have to decide to agree to disagree and hope neither ends up on the wrong side of the law.
Like I say. Copyright is based upon damage to the copyright holder. It's quite obvious when that happens and it's hard to do enough as an individual to be worth suing.
But making a single copy without permission, without being covered by any exemptions, is copyright infringement.
Copy right. The right to copy.
You don't have it unless you pay for it.
In my country we can draw anything and not get sued or break the law. I think that's pretty good too. It's when you sell stuff you get into those things.
If your country is a signatory to the international copyright treaties with most of the Anglosphere (Like the EU, US, AUS, NZ). Then that is not correct.
You cannot draw anything.
It's just never worth suing you over.
A crime so small it's irrelevant is almost a legal act. But it's not actually a legal act.
I don't know what to say. I'm in Sweden. We can draw things for ourselves and no international international company may sue us
It's illegal to have crimes so small and threat to take personal drawings in fact would break several other Swedish laws
