They can't do that. Even if they could, all it would do is create a huge riot amongst teh artistic community, which would only destroy any support the studios -- any, not just the one who starts this fire -- currently have because fans of any big company name (Marvel, Disney, Dreamworks, Sony, Laika Films, Universal Studios, etc.) would lose their trust in them. The very notion of punishing fans for wanting to make fanart is absurd to the highest degree and would breach the Net Neutrality agreement meant to protect people. People like to express their love of big studios and their works by creating fanart, fanfics, fanimations, fan voiceovers, discussion boards, cosplay -- I could go on. The moment fans are punished in any way for doing these things is the moment those companies lose every bit of support they were receiving.
