VICTORY my friends! Sony has given up! :D · 1:02pm Apr 22nd, 2016
UPDATE: A little update for everyone who has used the song removal feature on YouTube, instead of making the videos private! AstrumSpark on Equestria Daily knows how to reverse this:
Tell people who used "song removal" feature already on their videos to make them playalbe again, they can undo it!
For that you should find a video on a Video Manager page and click Edit on it.
Then in its Audio tab on the editing page you can find the buttons to undo those song removals back!
So today, I was again informed by SuppliedRelic of something, but this time it's good news:
Sony has given up on slaughtering our creations on YouTube and all claims were retracted!
I just went through the videos I linked in the second journal on the matter and all of them work perfectly again! Some others that were set on private by their creators for safety measures are still unavailable, but are bound to return soon now!
Have two examples of what we got back:
This is it, my friends! The greedy corporate has given up and we've got everything back!
I don't know if Sony got afraid of its income and/or partnership with Hasbro and did it itself (Ha, look! My sense of humor is back too!) or if Hasbro clobbered Sony over its head and told it to stop ruining revenues and messing with things it doesn't own, but it's most likely (like to 99.99% likely) that it was the latter, cause we all know that Sony is a dragon who does nothing else than burning down innocent pony villages and carrying more gold and gems into its cave.
Hasbro finally stepped in and stopped the big, greedy dragon from burning down our fandom!
Gallop over to Twitter and Facebook and tell the folks at Hasbro some nice words for once again stepping in for creativity and fighting corporate greed!
And go buy those soundtracks now to demonstrate that being accepting of fan creations pays off more than brutally pushing copyrights through!

Now go and spread the word! Let everypony know of the victory and celebrate and don't forget to thank Hasbro for taking a stand for free creativity on the Internet and Fair Use!
WE WON!
