Did you notice you said "allowed". That means they gave some permission. You're just showing that fan fiction exists by either non-action by the owning party or by the allowance of the party. What you haven't shown is that people get forced to remove such content because it infringes. Oh wait. You just confirmed that. Good one.
Cry me a river. All this IP isn't property crying isn't going to get around the fact that WIPO is agreed to by most nations. In the USA IP is heavily recognized and not going away. It doesn't matter how your napster morals work, they violate the law. Fan fic is often illegal, Vivendi and Lucas Arts both prosecute over fan fiction, why does it surprise you that using Speed Racer infringes on IP?
