Editing Sprite comic (section)

==Legal situation==
Sprite comics are threatened by legal action, as the graphical sprites used in them are generally protected by [[copyright]]. Many sprite comics present themselves as [[parodies]] of the works they are based on, and as such they might be protected under [[fair use]]. However, seeing as many sprite comics have developed substantial plot-driven stories featuring the copyrighted characters and environments, it is quite possible that a sprite comic creator would lose a lawsuit if a game developer decided to sue. Thus far, no sprite comic has been subject to legal action.<ref>{{cite book|title=Webcomics|last1=Withrow|first1=Steven|last2=Barber|first2=John|publisher=[[Ilex Press]]|year=2005|isbn=1-904705-50-2|page=179|ref=Withrow}}</ref> [[Capcom]] has stated that they will never "officially endorse" sprite comics, but no take-down request has ever taken place.<ref name=Wired />
