Biko may not be the only one, but he's definitely a extremely notorious character of nintendo. Except he doesn't technically hold any of the trademarks his animations are loaned from.
He's like an underground soft drink seller that claims what you can and can't do with his cans, even if it is a direct redrawing of official brands.
There are at least 2 animation artist better stylistically than biko that also resort to PM linking, but at least they aren't as ridiculously zealots of their own work. For that reason, I tend not to reference them, not that there's much content to see in the first place as they started doing that late and there's not much

the triple barrier wall.
You know, some artist I genuinely respect so much, I simply refuse to pirate their work for months. These ones are very forgiving to outsiders, even if they got the 'clout' needed to earn modestly, they never resorted to permanent paywall. For me at least, if you don't want me to pirate, give me a good reason from a plebeian perspective, not an artist perspective. After all: Piracy is a service issue, not pricing.
I've donated a few bucks to Zonkpunch, T-Hoodie, Masterploxy and Bitshift, despite all of them having horrendous long-waiting time. Because they make me feel like they deserve my dollar, whereas people like biko makes me want to keep my dollar a mile away.
