Succinctly and sharply put, as always, and exactly parallel with my own policy on such things.
The curse of the on-line people is that they're doomed to repeat what's been said before, and often better <wry g>. I could have just pointed to your earlier comments and said "this".
Having said that, I'm aware that a number of people aren't fans of fanfic. I don't generally read it, so it wasn't until fairly recently that I was aware of just how much fanfic is written; it seems to be a huge movement of its own, and all 'underground'.
I know that in Japan, the equivalent of fanfic is published (the Doujinshi), and I'm wondering how that's done -- if the creator signs away the rights, but is still acknowledged otherwise.
