Quote - Ohki's point #6 brings to mind fan art items, such as Star Wars models. These would only get done if someone is willing to make a freebie, because the modeler can't sell it. But a lot of fan art does get made, as a labor of love. Most of my stuff is TinkerBell, Lord of the Rings, or Narnia themed.
Just to clarify, it doesn't matter if a given item is given away free or put out for sale - that has no bearing at all on whether it's trademark/copyright infringement.
