Forums - Nintendo - Zelda Fan Movie Taken Down on Nintendo's Request

Well, I guess it's their right.

On a brighter side, There Will Be Brawl is really awesome. I saw the first ep a long time ago and then I forgot about it until know.

I'm a bit dissappointed that Nintendo decided to take it down, or felt the need to take action at all to be honest. I kinda wish they'd taken some ideas from Valve. When Valve get this sort of thing shown to them they nuture it and even give fans links to the good stuff. They've helped advertise the Black Mesa mod and linked to the fan-made Half-Life movie.

Oh Nintendo, why deny our love...

Mods are a different beast altogether though ...

I could be wrong but I suspect that a mod falls more in line with violating a copyright than violating a trademark being that most mods involve modifying an existing product while reusing copyrighted material. There are some significant differences between copyrights, trademarks and patents and (I could be wrong on this) I believe that if you hold a copyright or patent you own it regardless of if you legally defend it or not; whereas a trademark needs to be protected or it is legally indefensible.

And this is why I never studied law, lol. I think my point still stands when it comes to the Half-Life fan-made movie.



hmm its nintendo's rights, they can do what ever the bloody hell they want with it lol

The final episode was released only two days ago. I thought it was the best one.



I can understand Nintendo's decision. Also, pretty cool that this was a project made by fans.
Having said that, that vid was absolutely horrible, imo... A good thing it wasn't official, haha.
