The Power Rangers short film was first taken off Vimeo, but the real blow was when it was taken off You. Tube on Thursday.

Saban Brands claimed copyright infringement while Kahn and Shankar claimed fair use. Admittedly, there’s a grey area there where Saban does have the rights to the property and the short film only uses some of their visual ideas.

Plus, there’s a perceived difference between a couple of kids making a Power Rangers movie, and the work of a professional director and producer with high end effects and well- established actors like James Van Der Beek and Katee Sackhoff. Here’s how Shankar responded to the situation via Collider: 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.

So that’s one response to the movie. Want to read some others? Sure you do. The former Green and White ranger, Jason David Frank, was not a fan: I know there’s a lot of fans out there that love it and all that stuff, but I’m just a PG- 1. The cuss words, the drugs, all this other stuff — it doesn’t fly with me. The problem is, [the Power Rangers] are still connected with adults and kids. The ‘Super Megaforce’ and ‘Power Ranges Dino Charge’ are still on Nickelodeon, and so you can’t take a brand like this and reboot it so dark and gritty. This still is a kids’ brand.

What about his teammates? The Black Ranger, Walter Jones, posted this: I wont be posting the video of the Power Rangers deboot video because I still have fans that are kids. I will say… I thought it was very well done and entertaining. I am looking foward to other interpretations of this amazing show.

I am blessed to have had the pleasure of helping to create here in the states! Its Morphing Time!!

And then the Pink ranger, Amy Jo Johnson: Okay… so you’ve ALL probably seen this already. BUT just wanted to share. Personally I think it’s kind of awesome. BUT don’t tell Saban that!! I might get sued. And it’s clearly NOT for KIDS!!
