Nintendo Shuts Down Zelda Fan Movie

The immense amount of copyright issues within the gaming and online community continues thanks to Nintendo and an online fan-made movie of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time known as The Legend of Zelda: Hero of Time.
 
I will never be able to fully grasp what is wrong with lawyers today but regardless, below is a quote from the producers of the fan film.
 
“We came to an agreement with Nintendo earlier this month to stop distributing the film. In the spirit of the holiday season they were good enough to let us keep the movie up for you to watch and enjoy through the end of 2009, but not past 2009. We understand Nintendo’s right to protect its characters and trademarks and understand how in order to keep their property unspoiled by fan’s interpretation of the franchise, Nintendo needs to protect itself — even from fan-works with good intentions.”
