Nintendo are being tards. Period.

This is the standard behaviour for anything popular. It get's fan creations all the time. It strengthens the network. Theres also nothing wrong with being appreciated for the work you do. As long as they are not directly recieving profits from direct sales then theres no problem. So unless they are selling it and brings in positive value after print and shipping then theres no problem.

Yeesh. I always get bugged by people who think fans should be punished for showing creative effort for a creation they love. boggles the mind.

Welcome to the 21. century, where direct profits are taking the backseat to indirect profits. Look at some of today's most influential companies/products: Google, Youtube, Myspace, Facebook. Did you ever pay for their services? They must be charitable services, then.

They can't stop the movie from being seen. Once one copy is on the internet it's on the internet for good.

It is true that they made money off this movie by having it shown at 3 different theaters with two showings in each theater. The first two showings were packed with 200 people each. If the other 2 theaters both had 100 people each showing then 800 people paid for this movie.

If producers got at least 4 for each ticket then they would have got around $ 3,200 or more from the movie.

They did say that DVDs would be free as you would download the file then burn it to a DVD yourself.
