To Whom It May Concern:
Today, I was deeply disappointed to learn that Saban Brands decided to attack my Power/Rangers “Bootleg Universe One-Shot” film. To all the viewers that enjoyed this film, I consider this an outright infringement on freedom of expression and individualism. I set out to make this film because I am a childhood fan of the Power Rangers. As children our retinas are burned with iconic images and as we grow older these images come to represent crucial moments within the trajectories of our own lives. This film is a homage to the original creators of the Power Rangers, and a parody of a television series we all grew up loving. Films like my Power/Rangers “Bootleg” are vital expressions of creativity in our troubled world. If we suppress this creativity and become passive participants in the consumption of the culture we live in, we implicitly allow a dangerous precedent to be set for the future of the internet.
Warm Regards,
Adi Shankar

If Zuckerberg actually cared he'd be putting some money out to buy the congress critters needed to scale back the length of copyright laws not protecting one guy. Which he may be doing but I doubt.

It's not so much the length of copyright laws. It's the length and expense of the process required to litigate the issue.
That more than anything prevents better copyright systems from coming into place. Fixing that is... an enormous endeavor.

I totally agree with this. If anything being parodied is a compliment. And since it was just a one off thing that wasnt leading to a full-on reboot of the show or anything, what harm could it possibly do?
Such a over-reaction.
