>Fanart was already protected by fair use law and lawsuits affirmed this
Which lawsuits are those? Disney can absolutely ban fanart if it wants to. Disney has threatened lawsuits against creator of Arne Anka multiple times despite him being protected by parody laws. He had to change the appearance of the character multiple times and nowadays Arne looks closer to Alfred E Kwak than Donald Duck.

Fanart exists on the whim and mercy of Disney. Disney won't ban most fanart simply because theres no benefit of doing so and they would be just hurting free advertising.
