Derivative works (creations based on existing IP) require explicit approval from the #copyright holder. @Nintendo is cracking down on gun-toting Mario and all fan-made content using its intellectual property on @Steam Workshop.

It's equal parts funny and sad, seeing all the 'Nintendo would NEVER send a cease-and-desist over mod content for another game! It HAS to be a hoax!' nonsense going around, when every entity with a legal team has confirmed that yes, they absolutely can, will have have.
My thoughts on the @gmodofficial and the addons containing things with Mario content etc. I think nintendo needs to be less aggressive about their content being used for other games/platforms and let it happen unless the creator or creators of said game or mod give credit. https://t.co/5N7SKqxsB8

Something a lot of people don't realize is that you *do* need to actively protect your IP in order to retain rights to it... But Nintendo just takes it way too far, man. Target people monetizing your IP illegally, but just calm down and ignore mods dude, this is stupid. lol https://t.co/JmKrhwrtr5
