Looks like PonyArchive got shutdown by Hasbro, wonder if they're going to go after YouTube videos next.

Eh, I'm not surprised. They made a big target of themselves, and when a Cease and Desist arrives, the correct response is ceasing and desisting not what basically boils down to "Neener, neener, can't touch us!" Because, if they've gotten so far as to send the C&D then yeah, they probably can.

Yeah, Ponyarchive went about it in the totally wrong way. You have to accept that no company will accept a site like that. Unless you're the BBC (Well, Top Gear crew) and you do constant shout-outs to finalgear.com which hosts torrents of Top Gear episodes within an hour of airing on the BBC.

Which makes you wonder if ED could host torrents and develop a similar partnership with Hasbro...

Eh, I do not envy Hasbro on this one. What do you do when your half hour toy commercial goes viral? Very viral? One one hand, you get to indoctrinate an unexpected demographic: Young adult males. Which, to be fair, isn't really the target, but these men could be, or may become fathers of small girls. And getting the father to vouch for the girl toy? Awesome. So, Hasbro the toy company has an interest in keeping the brony fathers around.

But Hasbro the licensing company cannot allow any unauthorized copy that they know of of the show to be left online. They have licenses to protect. To the Hub, to Boomerang, to iTunes. If they see it, they have to act. Basic IP law, if I remember right. So what does Hasbro do? It's a tricky situation. By the book, it's easy: Search and destroy. But how will that affect the sale of small plastic ponies?

I think Hasbro so far as played it smart. Attack all you officially see... but don't look too hard. But if Hasbro says no, then the YouTube videos disappear. And that's that. Well, then it becomes a game of cat and mouse like most other shows that are on YouTube, but shouldn't be.

I'd love to see Equestria Daily to land maybe a delayed SD distribution right, but that's really, really wishful thinking. Would be nice, though.

Everything is moe to me
all of it is reaching.

pinkie pie is a triangle because she's.... pink.
rainbow dash is an upside down gay pride flag rather than just being, you know, a rainbow.
rarity has no relationship with the asexual pride flag at all.
a 4 colour twilight has no matching colours with a 3 colour flag but because neither of them clash horribly they're 'identical'
applejack worst pony
transexual butterfly's? what?

I don't want to buy the single out-of-sequence DVD, because I don't think it'll send Shout Factory the right message, and I don't even want it, and it most likely won't even come with a survey card. Petitions are also useless. So I decided to make my own survey card. And Shout Factory has an address.

http://www.shoutfactory.com/contact.aspx

Send us letters and chocolate:
2034 Armacost Ave, 1st Floor
Los Angeles, CA 90025


Since they ask for chocolate, that's exactly what they're going to get. I'm gonna love and tolerate the shit out of Shout Factory and send them some chocolates, along with a note that says that I want MLP:FIM S1 on BluRay and that I have money.

Canada has gotten exclusive DVD and even BluRay sets the US didn't, so I'm holding out hope we can get the same thing (like Avengers EMH COMPLETE SEASON on BLUERAY when the US has only gotten partial DVD volumes).

Shout Factory has the North American MLP rights. They'll definitely include both Canada and USA if they have a chance.
