Actually it could get C&D pretty easily: Hasbro would only have to say that this could hurt their own games, taking people away from their products and creating a loss for the company.
All the names of places and ponies are different. So I think it’s kinda like this:
Except they aren’t selling anything either, and the servers are on two days only.
A number of factors could prevent this from getting a C&D. First off, all the characters on the screen could be user-created, and not use the trademarked names from the show. The fact all characters are rendered in a 3d space could prove problematic for Hasbro if they wished to pursue a C&D, as they would have to prove it imitates a 2d style (making it too much a headache to be worth bothering).
Biggest reason, though, is that the game is free to download, free to play, so it doesn’t create enough of an economic engine to warrant legal action on Hasbro’s behalf. When it comes to fan art and fan projects like this, the biggest defense we have against copyright holders like Hasbro is the cost of lawyers. Lawyers are expensive. They take a lot of time and money to do anything. So while it’s 100% within Hasbro’s right to file a C&D against this game, they’ve got much higher priority issues to relegate their legal department to.

… I gotta ask, though, how does a game like this not get C&D’d? It’s been around for a while, is there a workaround or something?
