As for OP - your "OC" is already copyrighted upon creation. If go the extra mile and actually file it with the government, then you can sue people for damages and make a lot of money.
> How feasible would it be to create your own proprietary content and own it under a corporation doing art as a fictitious name?Extremely feasible. Besides time & money, there is nothing stopping you from doing this.
> Is Matt Furie setting precedenceNo. To even suggest that this copyright settlement is an "isolated incident" is absurd. People have been filing copyright complaints since its inception.
Just so you're all clear - Matt Furie filed a copyright infringement against InfoWars for using his Pepe character on merchandise for profit. Any one of us could do the same if any other business stole your work and sold it on merch.
