Another great move on Nintendo's part

[geoboy]

I would not be surprised if I saw something like this a few years from now...

*** THIS JUST IN ***

Nintendo is issuing subpoenas to thousands of people of all ages -- including children -- for drawing trademarked characters from various Nintendo franchises.

Nintendo claims that these unauthorized duplicates, called "fan art", are a violation of copyright law and a direct threat to Nintendo's business.

"All we are trying to do is protect our fans from themselves. They may see a 'fan art' drawing and confuse it with our official character art. These 'fan art' drawings are often grossly inaccurate and therefore threaten our company somehow"

:D
