When I was growing up, it was extremely common for left wing artists to rework and subvert corporate art. It is sad to see activists now so limited in their imagination that their strategy is to run to tell the corporate lawyers. If you wish for more corporate control of intellectual property, well I'm sure the Republicans and the Democrats will both be happy to oblige.

For as long as there has been corporate art there have been artists and activists subverting it. Before corporate art, the same thing happened with religious art.

This isn't a case of people tattling to Nintendo because some random person drew a comic they didn't like. This is people wielding what little power they have against the State.

I don't see how this cedes more power to corporations either. This doesn't involve or require Nintendo to flex some power they haven't used many, many times before.
