If the big famous pony artists like Dusty Katts' or Elie Montys', or Mandoponys', or Animated James' or Mindlessgonzo's out there are not allowed to touch Hasbro shows and those kinds of shows, and we're gonna get more shows like Shut Up Cartoons, and other legitimate viral sensations; we are gonna get COOL tv shows from COOL producers who are COOL ABOUT SHIT, actually getting out there and getting the attention they they deserve, thanks to their talent. Which is very good. Because ultimately, the truly best Youtube personalities need only their personalities to succeed. So [NAME REDACTED], I wish you nothing but the best of luck to you and the other voice actors and content creators. Because at the end of the day, WE DON'T NEED YOU, HASBRO. For ANYTHING. And that's what TRULY upsets Hasbro's legal team and CEO Brian Goldner, isn't it? We don't NEED them--We don't NEED Hasbro. Look at you and John Joseco, or even Jim Sterling. You NEVER NEEDED ANY corporation to do ANY of what you did. I mean, sure you do stuff on youtube, and I can't speak for you. But if I were in your shoes, if I got blacklisted from Youtube by Hasbro, the worst they could to do me is annoy me for a minute. Because I AM NOT AFRAID OF HASBRO. And that's what makes people like Brian Goldner and his legal team afraid. Because the new generation of content creators is NOT AFRAID of Hasbro and others like Hasbro. So to Hasbro, I say FUCK OFF. Thank god, for Jim Sterling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972990476219054386.post-87728236012207018552014-07-16T17:32:48.774-05:002014-07-16T17:32:48.774-05:00Copyright, and intellectual property laws have alw...Copyright, and intellectual property laws have always been FUCKING BULLSHIT, designed NOT to protect artists and content creators such as, John Joseco, and Animated James, but to give POWER to the parasitic corporations like Hasbro that have convinced the world that they are needed to act as butlers and gatekeepers between a creator and its audience.<br /><br />Normally, where Princess Molestia is concerned, among other sexual parodies involving MLP, or even normal G-rated videos, you would be right. But here's the problem. Fifty years ago, when information was more tightly controlled and social media like Facebook and Twitter was the stuff of science-fiction, what you stated about copyright and trademark laws might have been a simple little system. Today, as corporations like Hasbro encourage us to share and post, and use, and watch, and play, the more that the law needs to be changed. And NOT IN THE WAY, that Hasbro would want, where Hasbro continues to EXERTING CONTROL, and sustain its increasingly irrelevant existence.<br /><br />In an online world, content creators get to directly serve their audiences. And it is guys like Mindlessgonzo, whether it's him doing the Princess Molestia videos while being ENTERTAINING as he does it, or Animated James making a duel between My Little Pony and Sonic the Hedgehog characters who need protection. Youtube benefited from a new generation of creative people just as both it, and Hasbro benefited from them(how did Hasbro benefit from them? Exposure. Publicity. Free advertisement). And it would behoove Google, for once, to just get off of its FUCKING LAZY ASS, and provide some protection for them.<br /><br />And though some people may be pleased with the reaping of content on Youtube, and the internet as a whole, don't be too thrilled. As always this is about Hasbro EXERTING CONTROL--DOMINANCE over the content that WE THE PEOPLE CONSUME. Youtube, once a wild west of opportunity, is shrinking and restricting as every medium before it has. The line between folk hero brony/horsefucker, and public relations spokesman, is getting as blurry if not moreso, than the old line between, say, game journalists and perfective marketing shill. For example, in a non-pony related note, channels like Pewdiepie have already been able to score exclusive Let's Plays of certain video games. In relation, with that in mind, it will be very interesting to see what brony youtube channels are ALLOWED to post pony fan tributes, and the clandestine agreements to GET those allowances will be a source of fascination and suspicion.<br /><br />Recently, youtubers, among other people, have earned a great deal of respect, as a source of providing REAL content from REAL people. Something organic, honest, and trustworthy. A respite from the allegedly questionable state the Friendship is Magic series is in now. In a world where channels among other places need approval and permission before posting content....well...that might not be so true anymore. Things are going to get all sorts of murky, and any attempts to clear it up are going to lead to something a little bit worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972990476219054386.post-43979438118511374452014-07-16T17:27:49.389-05:002014-07-16T17:27:49.389-05:00If I might throw my hat in the ring, I can kind of...If I might throw my hat in the ring, I can kind of see where SJW-anon is coming from, but I agree he's a touch too.......overzealous about it, to say the least. I'm gonna play the devil's advocate and kind of defending his argument. To do that, I've borrowed an e mail from a source. Names have been redacted for privacy concerns.<br /><br />To start out my argument, I use the basis from it by borrowing the words of a brilliant man by the name of Jim Sterling. I've tweaked and peaked things around to make the situation fit and make it relevant, and I hope you take it to consideration and give me your rebuttal which I will respectfully listen to.<br /><br />To start things off, it's happening again; the Copyright Wars part deux is here. It's happening all over the internet again, hither and dither.<br /><br />So, let's begin with the pony videos on Youtube. In recent years, whether doing it for the sake of art or otherwise, a lot of people like Animated James, among other people were making a nice living for themselves practicing their animation and even their voice acting skills off the back of the My Little Pony: FiM series. Usually recorded by themselves for some parody adventures of the show.<br /><br />In the cases of Kayla-Na and fdakimakura, Hasbro was most definitely in the right and was perfectly sound and legit in their decision. HOWEVER, as with any emergent new independent business avenue, Hasbro's old guard; the dusty white men on their guilded thrones saw success and decided that they(Hasbro) were owed a slice of the pie.<br /><br />More and more recently and culminating with Youtube's LAZY policy change, these videos have been CLAIMED by corporations like Hasbro. Hasbro, as all already know, have made copyright claims on ALL videos using ANY elements from Friendship is Magic. And some known brony Youtube channels have had hundreds of their videos, whether they've made a living off them or not, flagged and removed from circulation.<br /><br />Some call it judgement day. Some even defend it, gleeful, that maligned brony artists, voice actors or personalities are out of work. But understand this, [NAME REDACTED]. It is, however, a slippery slope, and a troublesome situation--one that highlights the dire states of copyright and trademark law in the United States.<br /><br />Whether you, or any other brony content creator want to realize this, the world has changed. Information has become a lot harder to control. Intellectual properties, such as they are, are growing more difficult to define in an era of social media, where content is constantly shared, often by Hasbro itself. One strikingly hypocritical element of the claiming situation, is that a small few of the allegedly "infringing" MLP videos are not using footage from the show ripped off from a DVD or anything, but trailer footage or B-rolls supplied by Hasbro itself, often to many outlets for posting on their own channels. In the case B-roll, they were especially encouraged to cut up and edit the footage for our own use. But in the era of scattershot copyright and intellectual property claims, it's ALL BEING FLAGGED. It's ALL BEING C&D'd, and IT'S ALL BULLSHIT. And it's why I cannot completely support your argument, especially where Princess Molestia is concerned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972990476219054386.post-31665834536023277232014-07-16T16:15:27.306-05:002014-07-16T16:15:27.306-05:00You're seriously drinking from some bad coolai...You're seriously drinking from some bad coolaid, SJW-anon. Or you're taking me on a ruse cruise. <br /><br />Aside from the IWTCIR in the logo, Horse News does not infringe upon any of Hasbro's assets or property and is also probably making them more money. There's also a much stronger fair use argument as well as the free speech argument, as they are "journalists" reporting on "news", even if its parody and shenanegans. Same reason The Onion isn't sued to kingdom cum.<br /><br />To compare, not only did the Molestia blog take a recognizable character from the show that is trademarked from Hasbro, it also puts the character in a light that can potentially harm the brand and alienate the intended demographic. Thats bad for business, detrimental, which is a legal argument against fair use. <br /><br />Don't for a minute think that there's not hundreds of Hasbro minions keeping a tab on the fandom at any given time to unlock our trends and potential good or bad activites. They will slam a C&D on anything that starts harming their money-cow and will let anything that makes them more money slide under the radar until it becomes a legal issue not to act. That's how they lost the rights to those older generation pony names. <br /><br />The Hasbro guys are not all evil, they have to work within the same stupid laws as everyone else. Suddenly Disney snaps up the rights to Rainbow Dash and we're stuck with some red and black OC instead.<br /><br />This isn't really that hard to understand, SJW-anon.
