I would guess the fair price would be: 1) typical licence for image on a global website, and 2) some percentage of sales of that particular bag.

I concur with others that have suggested just contacting Disney's Consumer Products division directly. I am sure they would want to fairly compensate the artist for her work.

They will also want to reprimand the company from which they sourced the bag.

Why would a fair price be relevant? I assume that statutory damages for copyright infringement would be far, far more than a fair price for the work if negotiated up-front. In other words, a retrospective license to cure infringement should probably be a bit "unfair".


The artist could go that route, and the lawyers and insurance companies will win.
