Are these against policy? What happens if they are?

    Hi,

    I asked this on the offiical Google forums but got no specific help. Hoping people here can help. I already have an Adsense account and using it on some sites. But there is 3 things I am wondering:

    1) Is Adsense allowed on a fansite such as for a anime series or tv show character?
    I understand sites like anime streaming websites are against the rules. However I have some sites that just use clips, trailers and scans of a few pages or images from promos in magazines. No full episodes/books/soundtracks. They also encourage people to buy the series/books/music/merchandise from places like Amazon/eBay etc. and claim no ownership of the series. Would this therefore be OK?

    2) What exactly constitutes as a 'student paper' in Adsense Violation Policy?
    If I dig up some old media studies essays I did during University which were personal analysis/interpretation of films/media does this count under Adsense's ban of student papers? Or is that ban just for direct answers to curriculum papers (such as a cheatsheet for a Maths exam or something?).

    3) If any of the above turns out to be a violation, what happens? Whole account banned or just the 1 site or page disallowed ads?

    Thanks for any help.

    You have nothing to worry about for both #1 and #2

    As for #3, I believe it's just the 1 site that is disallowed ads, if anything were to happen.
