I like the fact that the OP is trying to license a series that Sentai Filmworks has been officially licensed since 2015. That would mean, in order for YOU to be in charge of professionally dubbing it, you'd have to set your bid higher than what Sentai paid for in order to snatch their license, and on top of all that, do most, if not everything Kira mentioned. Except... they're already dubbing Haikyu officially. When I made this thread I had no knowledge of Sentai licensing this in 2015. Even if I did, just because they licensed it in 2015 does not mean they were going to make a dub it's could've been possible they just licensed it to sell merchandise for the Haikyuu franchise in America. Furthermore, when I made this thread it was before Sentai even announced that they plans for Haikyuu dub (June 2017).

I am currently trying to do a fandub for Haikyuu and Mystic Messanger. The fandub is also non profit, however I would like to open a donation box to support the fandub. My questions are: Would putting a donation box up contradict being a non profit fandub? Would this be legal? I would LIKE to make this profitable, how would I go about doing this without facing legal issues? Would I need to buy a streaming license? In the court of law you would not have trouble because it is a parody but you need to possibly get the license to put a parody on the internet because it is profitable

I think these are questions best asked to a copyright attorney. The thing is, once you start getting into legal questions, not only does your average joe online not necessarily *know* the answer, but giving out legal advice when you're wrong can get even a lawyer in trouble. The long and the short of it is; anytime you use copyrighted material in ANY way, and you don't have a legal way to do it (either written permission, it falls under "fair use", or something else), it's copyright infringement, and whether you earn money or not doesn't change that fact. What it MIGHT change is how the copyright holders MAY choose to react, it MIGHT affect the ruling if you get taken to court over it and the judge has to rule whether it's fair use, etc. The thing is, there's so many different ways you can go about it, ranging from horribly illegal to "you probably won't get caught" to going through the proper channels to get the rights to officially dub something -- at which point, it isn't even a fan dub anymore, it's an officially licensed dub. Now, SOME copyright holders won't allow any fan works they can stop, some allow some things but not others, and some love fan works. It depends on the person and/or company. So just because you break copyright, you might or might not even have the copyright owners care -- they might monetize or take down your video if it's on YouTube, but not do anything else -- or you could get taken to court. I think this is the correct view on the matter. The benefits of a fandub are to add credibility to your resume and to practice professional voice acting. It's perfectly reasonable to want to get paid for something that you put a lot of work in, but the easy way around copyrights is to make the dub free but in turn offer a donation box to yourself if people like your work. You probably won't get any royalties on YouTube from the fact you are using copyrighted images/videos, but I feel like YouTube puts more emphasis on music/audio royalties than video royalties; I may be wrong and YouTube may have advanced on video copyrights in recent years but there are tons of YouTubers making money editing copyrighted videos with original audio.
