It's also apparently illegal for a little child to draw a picture of Spider-Man without permission by Marvel, but Marvel would be destroying themselves by suing people for drawing their characters in their notebooks. Kids being allowed to draw their favorite superheroes helps comic publishers like Marvel and DC, just as people making fan-tribute-games based off of their favorite Nintendo franchises can only help Nintendo (or at the very least, couldn't hurt them). Remember how I wanted to make that top-down 3D Zelda game? I was very serious about making it, just a short little game that takes place right after Link's Awakening. I wasn't even going to use any of Nintendo's artwork, I was going to create everything from scratch. Well, now it's obviously never going to happen. It's not like I was going to profit from it or anything like that. I love Zelda, and wanted to see what I could add to it, as small and insignificant as it may have been. It would have been no different than making a Star Wars fanfilm or my own Batman comic.
