The Minecraft brand and IP are constantly being misappropriated by others for commercial gain, the Minecraft IP is owned by Notch and he has every moral and legal right to protect it. There are numerous deals that are in place that allow third parties to make use of the Minecraft IP for commercial gain, Jinx, Think Geek, Lego, Danilo, 57Digital, 2PP, Sony, Microsoft, deal after deal after deal... Notch has set a clear precedent: If you want to make a commercial venture with the Minecraft IP, work with his company and if they can make it work, they will. This is not a "creative work", it's a commercial work. The creator of this project has previously made creative works involving the Minecraft IP and posted them on Youtube with no opposition from Notch, here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPFD2PVtKQE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPFD2PVtKQE
