Fucking Hasbro · 11:47am Mar 22nd, 2014
So I got home from work and was browsing through my newsfeed when I saw a screencap from a youtube inbox.
The inbox of concerned belonged to JanAnimations, who produced videos such as Buttons Adventures, Let's Go and Meet The Bronies, and Pony Parody Don't Mine at Night.
The message in question was a Cease and Desist requesting that Jan remove all his pony related videos on copyrighted grounds.
This is a punch to the gut for the fandom on so many levels. Firstly, since he did a collaboration with Tara Strong for the BronyDoc which got released on dvd (which I own), wouldn't Hasbro have known about it? And why did it take this long for them to cotton onto him?
Secondly brings to light that we know Hasbro are going around issuing C&D's by the sound of it, who is next? What channels/videos are next on the chopping block?
Guys, we are not safe anymore.
Dang it.

Your profile picture of Fluttershy from Smile HD perfectly describes what I feel like doing to Hasbro right now

Hopefully they don't decide to take that down, too.

Oh god I love Smile HD; I especially love watching Smile HD Reaction videos XD
1945711 Have you seen the one by KireIkasu?
It's this one:
Hasbro is being foolish as fuck.
JanAnimations especially gives their show free visibility, yet they want to put those videos out of the internet?
Stupid. Bloody stupid.

When I was watching that one of the voices was all too familiar and then I realised it is LittleShy who makes the CineMare Sins videos XD
1945743 Yeah, I didn't notice it until the second time I watched it.
