So maybe a hundred people will actually not watch the episode, and Hasbro will surely shake in their boots right? Jezus people, get a grip. First of all, I can guarantee you that about 3/4th of the more vocal people going all “Imma boycott Hasbro! That will show them” actually won’t do it. THe few that do, will make no difference. Secondly, this isn’t Hasbro sending the C&D, but a lawyer from a firm working for them, who most likely doesn’t know about bronies, or doesn’t care. If you really want to protect future animations and projects, how about you get together somehow and PROTEST the law that forces Hasbro to do this, because otherwise they might very wel end up losing the MLP license.

How about you all just chill out and wait to see if this gets fixed.  
Because I guarantee this isn’t helping, it’s making it worse.

Nah, I think I’ll continue to watch the show.

@Background Pony #E7F0  
Who is this DustyPwny,btw ?
 
Okay lets bring more positivity,since Jan is CAndD for the moment,who is still active as na animator in the community  
-Well,there’s still PikaPetey  
(cue anguished NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)

Its not fan made materiel if you take/steal a character from the show and act like it yours!!!

@Background Pony #05F8  
FINALLY! Someone who at least has a brain around here!

@Background Pony #5E15  
Not really. If they “didn’t want us around”, it’s well within Hasbro’s power to remove most fan content from the Internet.
 
It should be assumed that when a fandom is centered around a given Intellectual Property (IP), it’s likely that the company owning that IP isn’t going to let fans get away with everything, ever. If a said company (Hasbro) were to make a statement about fan’s use of the IP, they’d probably say most content is illegal, which is probably why Hasbro hasn’t explicitly spoken against such fan material. It can’t condone it (legally), but it won’t condemn it. An occasional C&D is inevitable.
 
It sucks, yeah. I’m saying that it could be far, far worse.
 
At least Hasbro isn’t Disney. Disney is ruthless.

No. I’m going to watch it anyway. I quite like the show and would rather not give them even the semblance of the idea that I want it gone.

@Background Pony #1232  
Read it and weep, sucker.

@Background Pony #E7F0  
It isn’t that we are stupid, but merely hungry for a change here. Fan created material shouldn’t be something that is abolished.

ARE YOU PEOPLE STUPID OR SOMETHING!? SHADY EXPLAINED WHAT’S GOING ON!

@Background Pony #5E15  
Agreed

@Background Pony #E7F0  
Whatever.It’s clear they dont want us around.

You do realize if you boycott, they’ll cancel the show right? And whose fault will it be then? Your’s.

…Why?  
Button Mash’s voice actor has already made a statement.

Oh god

And make everyone end up like this?  

Does boycotting ever do anything at all? I mean that big companies such as Hasbro probably won’t even notice since what little money they would lose would be made back up in seconds anyway.

Last episode I saw was Daring Doo, what did Hasbro change because of that?  
…wait a minute…  
…does that mean that it’s my fault that Hasbro took down Jan?  
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please don’t hurt me!

Hasbro don’t want fans.They want clients.

Boycotting will not help or change anything.

That link says that the one who posted this will boycott by not watching next week’s episode. I honestly think boycotting does no good.

Nah.
