@Steven_the_2nd I'm fairly certain Nintendo would serve a DMCA notice to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1864464733/gemstone-eeveelution-enamel-pins for "A set of cute eevee pokemon and crystal hard enamel pins." and what you refer to as fan art inspired by Nintendo.. as they did for this Kickstarter. You can't copyright an art style.... can you? I hope not. It is derivative work, I think that may be all that matters with copyright?
@Steven_the_2nd so any leaf with a bite taken out of it is infringing on Nintendo copyright? I guess I'll go serve DMCA notices to every caterpillar in the garden. Two each, an extra for resembling Caterpie.

Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Kickstarter Campaign Over Animal Crossing Copyright Infringement
@Steven_the_2nd Yeah I agree. I actually quite like both the Kickstarters. Stay safe and all the the best.

I don't mind either way is this the one? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Animal_Crossing_Leaf.png didn't look like it to me

Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Kickstarter Campaign Over Animal Crossing Copyright Infringement
@Radbot42
Yep. Takes 10 seconds to find another one like this that's flying under the radar https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1864464733/gemstone-eeveelution-enamel-pins
Re: Nintendo Shuts Down Kickstarter Campaign Over Animal Crossing Copyright Infringement
@Heavyarms55 trying to find it, where in the article is anyone complaining? "Wah wah wah Why wont evil Nintendo let me STEAL their IP for a profit!"
