Youtube is plagued by works of this kind:

Deviantart is plagued by works of this kind:

https://www.deviantart.com/harwicks-art/art/Know-When-to-Fold-Em-274057023

Obviously, this is not limited to My Little Pony:

https://www.deviantart.com/ver1sa/art/Fallout-4-cosplay-Piper-Wright-701013703

OK, enough examples. I think it is clear what I'm asking about.

And my question is: Why are such works not being taken down? Do they not qualify as "derivative works" of intellectual property of other creators and are they not illegal as such?

But if they were illegal, I think they wouldn't be tolerated so widespreadely as they are now?

Or are they merely tolerated because the copyright owners didn't yet approach Youtube / Deviantart / Other such sites, asking them to take them down?

Also - does the so-called Acta 2 (that is, EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market), which is already passed, change anything on this matter? Will it not require hosting websites to proactively take down such works even before copyright owners approach them?

Or am I missing something?
