Re: Team Pony

The plushie market is hilarious overpriced anyways, especially if it's ponies since it seems to be the newest "trend" I'd assume.

Re: Team Pony

I do think making the plushes and then selling them was overstepping bounds, and I don't blame Hasbro or whoever for going after that sort of thing since money was changing hands/being made/etc...

I just think it's a bit much when they start going after projects that aren't even bringing in any money and are purely for artistic and fan purposes. They are perfectly within their legal rights to do so, but it also discourages people from even bothering to contribute anything at all.

There's a big difference between making money off stuff (could be seen as competition) and doing stuff for free for purely artistic and community purposes (which pretty much equals free advertising for Hasbro, if they think about it)

Most companies understand how fan generated content greatly helps them in terms of recognition, keeping loyalty of current fans, and reeling in new fans to increase marketability and profits. Hasbro's legal team seems to be oblivious to such things, and need to try and handle this such as other companies have (like Bungie, Nintendo, or SEGA).

Honestly, I think copyright law needs to have some sort of revisions to give some legal backing on derivative materials, which the owner can prove they were in good faith merely using a companies intellectual property to (in a noncommercial and non profiting manner) promote and aid in the growth of a the official right owner's content. Where it is clear that without a shadow of a doubt that copyrighted materials were not in any way regarded as owned by the creators of the fan content, and they only wish to get more people interested in the original content the copyrighted material derives from.

Most companies

you still can't post a single episode of Digimon without having it taken down within 10 minutes by their legal team, and I mean by an actual person, not ContentID flagged.

SCORING SPOTLIGHT

Round 3 Day 6

. Valrog (D1), making a great improvement to 40-0-1-2 from his previous score, but still deep in elimination!

. FangedSerenity (D3), right above the elimination line with the same score, might want to think about improving!

. QueenChrysalis (D4), up and at em with his first AAA for the tournament!

. basicdrummerman (D4), also able to AAA this round's song!

. And Shouka (D4), with the AAA as well, making this round the first perfect round for Team Pony other than D7!

. Small improvements all around D5 as they eagerly try to get that AAA!

. 3lijah (D5), finally in with a decent score, but it's not enough to pass the elimination line!

. Razor (D6), falling underneath the elimination line with his first score of 3-0-1-0!

. Zephei (D6), making a neat 4-good improvement to nearly an omniflag!

RED ZONE: Razor, 3lijah, KrazyKitsune, Valrog, megamon88

I'm referring to fan generated content that is a derivative work of a show, movie, or game; not the shows, movies, or games by themselves. If all Hasbro was doing was taking down MLP episodes that were thrown up on YouTube or something, I wouldn't be concerned with that one bit. That could be detrimental to their profitability if everyone is just ripping the entirety of their series, and throwing it there instead of purchasing the episodes or watching them on the Hub.

Unlike fan generated content which entices others to find and support the official release, flat out taking the original content and uploading it somewhere doesn't really do the same thing. It can encourage others to just watch the content without giving the company that created it anything in return, which obviously could be problematic for them.

Yeah I'm in like 10 different group chats with like 50 people each so skype on my phone is out of the question xD

If you're talking about tourney avatars, then gold can make them for you.
