 Can I draw King Kong? Can I draw King Kong? Can I draw King Kong? Now usually the answer is that I can't draw copyrighted characters because I release all my art for free use. And King Kong is something that theoretically should be copyrighted. Indeed, Universal Pictures claim they own the copyright. But behind it all is an almost century old court drama of movie rights and novelizations and Broadway musicals and even Nintendo's famous Donkey Kong. There's too many details for a one minute TikTok, but the conclusion seems pretty clear. I can draw King Kong and release him for free use thanks to badly written contracts from the 1930s.
