If you draw a picture of him and then someone else posts it without your permission, then yes you’d be able to claim your copyright was violated. Copyright is something that automatically applies to any creative thing someone produces. You can’t use someone’s name/likeness to sell a product unless they’ve given you permission, but that’s not a copyright claim.
These claims sound like abuse of the DMCA takedown system.

Yes, that is the normal way of doing things. But didn’t United file something to attempt to copyright Luigi?
My question is whether or not they had success with that ridiculous claim.
It’s also not normal to go for a terrorism charge when murder is far, far easier to prove. But here we are.
Basically all we need is one person to draw a picture and clearly license it under a non-NC Creative Commons license like CC BY-SA. Then we’re good.
