> If you paint a picture of Sonic the Hedgehog in your living room, you are technically creating an unauthorized derivative work

Is this even true? It might violate a trademark, but I don't think it would violate copyright law unless it was a copy of an existing picture.

Yeah, in some countries private stuff isn't illegal at all.

I don’t believe there’s any country where derivative work is intrinsically illegal. The Berne convention considers them protected same as originals.
