re: nintendo taking money from their fans. where do you stand?

Intellectual property is that the source of the material is and belongs to Nintendo. In other words, Nintendo coined/created/thought of it themselves. It is basically what it sounds like. A thought or creation from the mind of one or many persons.


When intellectual property is made and or distributed, whether it be a game, music, etc., it can't be touched as far as use by an outside entity unless given permission and ultimately finalized by said source.



Idk if that answered your question, but there is a bylaw that exists when using such material that allows you, in most cases, to bypass these restrictions and use it for entertainment purposes as long as it is non profit and fan-based. Or otherwise a parody. People in the past have used the loophole of "parody" to make different videos, movies, games and such as they please. It's a bit complicated but not all that hard to get past if you just know what to say and how to go about it.


I believe it is called the Fair Use Act? Correct me if I am wrong. Looks like I just had a halfway incorrect rant of something I really don't know all that much about Sombody back me up on this
