Comic dubs fall under the category of derivative works, and users must obtain explicit permission from the original comic artist before creating and sharing a dub. We uphold copyright laws and encourage users to respect the intellectual property rights of comic creators. Ensure you have obtained written consent from the comic artist prior to dubbing their work to avoid any copyright infringement issues.
