Eh, not all big companies care about fan work as much as you think. If he got really big, sure, they might care, but it doesn't look good for some big company to be suing shitty fan artists.
Yeah, I know, but remember that Chris wanted to make pretty much an empire out of Sonichu...videogames, comics on Marvel, Dc or Darkhorse, and all kind of merchandise...of course, even if he had a billion dollar idea he just wouldnt KNOW WHERE TA GO!
And actually, Sega are quite the dicks about this stuff...I know one of the main guys involved on this amazing
Streets of Rage remake/compilation
With the game in a very promising beta state, they asked Sega if it was ok for them to continue this (freeware) fangame and they said "sure, whatever, it looks nice, go on!"
Then, after 8 years of hard work, they released the game, and it kicked so much ass that Sega
threatened legal action and made them take it down so they could continue to sell old-ass Genesis roms on Xbox Live while the SoR ip rots...(I mean, I can understand Sega's position, but they shouldnt have give them permission in the first place...)
