Okay, so it seems that animation freebies are exempt from the "no copyrighted names allowed" policy. But, I'd still prefer to hear an official statement from an admin about this.

Here are some better examples:

  1. Do a search for "box" in the Free Stuff section. On page 3 is an item called "Police Box TARDIS style". While "Police Box" may not be copyrighted, "TARDIS" certainly is. My own TARDIS model was removed because it used this same, copyrighted word.
  2. Do a search for "doctor" and the first item returned is "Wusamah Doctor Strange Texture"... and "Doctor Strange" is most certainly copyrighted by Marvel Comics.
  3. Do a search for "aqua" and all three "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" characters are shown on the first page: Meatwad, Frylock, and Master Shake. While "ATHF" may not be copyrighted (but probably is), those names with those likenesses certainly are.

So, I'll re-phrase the question: given that these items are so easy to find, has the "no copyrighted names" policy been revoked? Can I start uploading Star Wars items with their proper name?
