Out of all the JanAnimations C&D satires I've read (all 3, 2 if you count the second was a carbon copy of the first) This is the best one due to it's comedic take on the issue
Heh heh! You go Love Tap!
Awesome and brilliant as always.
Even though it's looking more and more like the C&D did NOT come from Hasbro...BUTTON MASH FOREVER!!
Sweetie Belle you adorably devious little filly.

Yeah, I've seen some posts to that effect and it looks like it's being investigated.
Still, the desire to put a somewhat positive spin on this won out...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! but i'm still sad.
this was funny, now you HAVE to do a story about summerween :P (the term "HAVE to" being used as a reccomendation, not a statement)
This is fuckin' hilarious, and random. :3
That was glorious.
You sir are a saint. *wipes tear*Button Mash lives on forever.
...I just somehow gave this fic two thumbs up. I had already clicked it once for it and it went through but then I clicked it again and another thumbs up was added.
What happened? I haven't heard anything...
Nice Lego Movie reference!
This is why we haven't had an update for awhile?...Time well spent.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but JanAnimations got a Cease and Desist over the Button Mash animations.
It may not be genuine and there's a lot of heat from the brony community over this considering the Button videos where pretty much completely inoffensive. There's already some internal investigations in Hasbro about this.
I think it should be dozenth.
Go Love Tap go!
( on that day forward ponies all gather towards city hall on the same day every year to eat s'mores over a burning building.)
I'm gonna miss the videos. They may make new stuff though but still.
Oh my sides! There were too many funnies in that!
That ending was just too funny!
4119842
Whoops! Fixed! Thank you.
The videos have been re-uploaded to Youtube outside JanAnimations channel. Kinda the same deal with Double Rainboom, the videos themselves are sort of impossible to kill.
4119838 NOOOO!!!
I hope it's not genuine. I really liked those videos and characters. I know they'd still live on in things like this, but it would be sad to see all that go. I understand, now, what you were doing with this fic too, and it's hilarious. Good satire is always appreciated.
4119857 The magic of internet, I'll never lose hope on humanity.
4119857 Wait. I thought Double Rainboom didn't have any copyright problems. Zackary got permission from both Hasbro and Cartoon Network. Did that get a C&D too?
4119959
Not so much C&Ded as politely asked to be taken down after it was up for a bit and their agreement with Hasbro expired, as far as I know.
Yeah, I don't really get it either.
4119918 It is genuine Hasbro turned this into a big cluster fuck real quickly. They keep going on like this and next thing you know it'll be the writers or the musicians turn for a legal beating. Well done Hasbro you opened your asses up for a swift kicking.
F'TANG!
Damn you, Hasbro!~ Klaus from American Dad.
Love Tap strikes again.
4119959
4119965 It's still up, though. I just looked. Also, a Hasbro VP is looking into the C&D of JanAnimations. I just read a bunch of articles.
4120062
It's on YouTube, but not the official site.
The comments here might shed some light on things.
The Lego Movie!
Doctor Who/Whooves!
4120211 Ah. I see. So, there was no C&D. He just decided, for some personal reason, to disown the production as he moved on to "bigger and better" things...
Thanks for making this story. It improved my mood regarding the C&D of Button's adventures.
Another great story--be it a one-shot or a long story-arch. I hope that things work of for Jananimation
4120266
Hehe, yep! I just watched it last night. It's already become one of my favorite movies ever.
4120345
Good, then it did exactly what I hoped it would do.
"So sorry, did not see you there! Or there!"
I am happy now!
4121133
I'm glad the story helped your mood.
I wasn't aware they still made those out of metal.
4119723 oh please... yes, let it turn out to be fake. Hasbro's been fairly cool about fan stuff till now...
But what kind of douchebag would send a C+D like that?
Please, someone tell me that the Janimations have been saved someplace for posterity.

Pinkiepony, possibly? She's certainly dripping enough joy juice over the whole thing to be a likely suspect.
Not that she's intelligent enough to even BEGIN to fake a C&D letter, but I wouldn't put it past her or one of her asshat friends to try.
4122106 It wasn't her, stop blaming her
4122121 "Stop"? I never started. All I even know about Pinkiepony is that she's one of the most hated drama queens on the Internet and was a chief proponent of the whole APM mess. Since I never even read the Molestia tumblr (or heard of it until it was shut down) I know nothing about it. All I know is that EQD's article (or something linked from there) about the Button Mash thing screencapped a Twitter or something post from her.
Besides, there are literally a million assholes out there who like to mess with bronies just because they have nothing better to do, so it's likely we'll never find out who's behind this, if it wasn't legitimate.
4119723
JanAnimations confirmed it did come from Hasbro. From their YouTube channel -
4122148 Oh well.
4122159
Yeah, I know...
It still doesn't make a whole lot of sense, though. My best guess is that either Hasbro hired a new third party legal firm that got a little overzealous, or this is part of a larger campaign to reign in fan content. The latter seems unlikely unless there's a new chairman or something that reacted especially harshly to a plethora of soccer moms complaining about some clop their kids found on the internet or something along those lines, but you never know.
4122164 I think the former is more likely, given that the VP of Hasbro Studios seemed to not know anything ABOUT this and is investigating it.
4122096
Just like Double Rainboom, quite a few people have quickly mirrored them or re-uploaded them to their own YT accounts.
http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/300738/dont-say-i-never-do-anything-for-you-guys
4122170 Exactly, the appropriate response to internet cencorship of any kind is copy copy copy!
This is a really good one shot story. I really like how it came out.
A few friends and I been picking apart the C and D order, we found something really interesting about it, the Button Mash episode they used as a reference in Pinkie's Pride with the goof off song at the start with Pinkie Pie wearing a hat and moustache (Scene of Button Mash adventures in his mums room months and months before the creation of season four), second they knew of Jan's work for years, DHX even offered him a possible job when they notice his fan made animation of Photo Finish song created by Mandopony, third the order spelt Scootaloo's name wrong, it on there spelt as 'Scootalo'.
Thought I share them to you all ^^
Poor Button Mash.
Dude, I see what you did there. I haven't even read this...

From what I understand, youtube itself has recently been sending out C&D letters on the BEHALF of various companies. For example, if somebody uses video game footage, they will write a cease and desist letter on the behalf of the game company that made it. Presumably to cover their asses and get rid of potential violations before they actually even become noticed and become an issue or something.
It's been affecting a lot of people on youtube and NOBODY is happy about it, not even the companies that are supposedly having their copyright violated. A lot of companies write letters to the people affected saying that they never sent any C&D letters because they don't want to step all over people, don't want to be blamed for things they didn't do, and don't condone what youtube does.
My guess is that this was youtube acting on Hasbro's behalf.
