    It’s not that they’re allergic to money but rather the inflated sense of self-importance and ego. To rightsholders and executives, it’s unthinkable that fans could come up with something better and profitable using the intellectual property that they earned (read: bought) fair and square. And if someone somehow did, it’s a threat to the bottom line, not something to embrace and encourage.

      it’s fucked up that the creator cannot make his art, that he created, because it’s own by a company.
