1,021 PointsWhat are the rules for creating a fan site? I want to create a website for fans to enjoy for a certain show.
I am looking to create a website along the way as I learn from treehouse so I can use what I learn instantly. I am looking to create something for people to visit and look at pictures, video and show information. I am not looking to make money off of it I simply want to create something for others to enjoy. Are there copyright laws I need look at or any type of rule at all? I plan on using pictures and video from the web to fill the site.
P.S. Thinking about the walking dead or game of thrones for the show focused website.

I would suggest taking a look at the copyright course. You can really learn a lot about copy right laws from it. http://teamtreehouse.com/library/copyright-basics
