Let's be honest with each other here. We are all a little crazy about our fan fiction fantasies or something that we wouldn't dare show to the rest of the world.
I for example am an avid Harry Potter fan. I'v been a fan since as far back as I can remember. I've seen all of the films and read the series at least 5 times. BUT like any logical fan would do, I'm involved with the idea of my favorite trio's lives after Hogwarts, so I resort to YouTube and watch fan made videos of Harry and his life 10 years later in videos such as this little gem right here !!
I was actually a huge fan of this because it showed actual conflict in the character's identities and lives that are relevant to all us fans that basically got old and are looking for some way to hang onto our childhood bond with this movie franchise that took us away from our boring world and into Hogwarts World of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Being a fan I encourage this type of work and video production. But when the thought of copyright is brought into this, it becomes a really messy grey area of who should profit from this and get credit.
In cases like this, I say that we fans should be allowed ti run free and hold onto things like this and continue finding ways to live in this fantasy world without looking too crazy or weird in the process.
