The big deal is that this goes against the original intention of copyright law. Copyright law is only supposed to provide incentives to create works of art. The restriction on personal freedoms is supposed to be outweighed by the cultural (and economic) benefits this has for society. When copyright is used to restrict non-competing derivative works, this is not the case. I think many feel there is an implicit social contract between content creators and the public. Art borrows from and adds to culture. Protecting artists is a good idea, but when you use those protections to stifle people messing around with your art, then I think that's going too far. People messing around with art is an important part of how culture progresses, and without the cultural context of the time Top Gun would never have existed.
