List of things busted by Drillimation Studios

This is a complete list of doujinshi content that got shot down by Drillimation Studios and their lawyers thanks to a cease and desist letter. In the Drillimation world, fandom comes in all shapes and sizes. It starts with a poster on the player's wall, buying figurines, and memorizing every quote from the game. Sometimes indie game developers build their own versions based on the original I.P. Of course this does not always fare well with the Drillimation license.

Lucky Star: Reloaded and Remastered
In 2011, in honor of the 30th anniversary of the franchise, developers from Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana created a 3D voxel version of the original 1987 Lucky Star. It was playable in the player's browser via the power of JavaScript and WebGL. A few days later, the game was pulled from Purdue's website due to a DMCA complaint made by Drillimation Studios, saying that "the game copies the assets of the original game and allows players to play an unauthorized copy of the game".

Touhou Reiiden: Highly Responsive to Prayers Lunatic Edition
In 2008, a group of students from Commack High School in Long Island, New York began working on a massive remake to the 1986 game Touhou Reiiden: Highly Responsive to Prayers. The remake included 25 levels per world, Marisa Kirisame, Sakuya Iyazoi, and Sanae Kochiya being playable, and some new soundtracks. The game took four years to complete. Drillimation Studios didn't agree about this. Not only did they send a cease and desist letter, they also said that "the game is way too long to beat and is too difficult". Surprisingly, Team Shanghai Alice was doing a remake to the game, but was cancelled before it was released.

M2
M2 is a movie and video game rental chain in the Republic of Guy. When customers would rent a Driller Engine game, they were given the original manual. Customers tended to lose or forget to return them, so M2 would make a copy just in case. Drillimation claimed that photocopying their manuals was a violation of copyright law and a big piracy issue. In September 2008, Drillimation Studios sued M2 over the case. M2 loses the case and was forced to write their own manuals instead.
