yeah, then they changed all the names, made them alpacas and stuff, and it was totally fine. honestly I was more thinking about janimations, friendship is witchcraft, the mentally advanced series, reviewing is magic, Ilovekimpossiblealot’s love for discord, and duo cartoonist.
 
still, I do hope we can overturn those trademark and copyright laws, since the only thing they effectively do is make it illegal not to steal attribution.

how many dozens? 12620 = $1440 which enough to pay rent for… maybe 3 months in the USA. I mean it’s successful at getting people printed copies of a story they love. but that won’t exactly pay the bills.
 
and hasbro just hasn’t gone after this author yet.

Copyright laws, as they stand are dusty old documents that are over a century old, and have received very little editing to factor in the age of the internet, and all the intricacies of modern copyright matters such as fandom content. As such, it’s a huge grey area, like red said. Depending on the company, any and all fan content can be made, shared and even sold without consequence. Others might prohibit the later.
 
Judging by thier past responses, Hasbro is typically lenient with fan content, so long as they are credited. The only times Hasbro has stepped in and stopped fandom content for MLP was when the content in question was so high quality that it could be mistaken for the show (see JanAnimations), or when an extremely high quality fan project promoted physical violence, something they were probably skiddish about parents and kids then associating with the show (see ‘Fighting is Magic’, later turned ‘Them’s Fightin’ Herds’).

honestly anything is illegal and anything is legal, if you have the money to pay the right lawyer. I think they just overlook any legal issues, because they prefer to attack quieter and more vulnerable targets, rather than massive amounts of artists. bullies always go after the unpopular kid, after all.
 
but my opinion is yes absolutely it is totally legal, and to make it otherwise would be ridiculous.

trademark law is for preventing impersonation, where one seller disguises themselves as a popular one in order to trick consumers into buying the wrong thing. if the work overtly claims not to represent the trademark owner, say for instance a parody, a product review, or fanart, then no law has been broken.

I read this fanfic six years ago, one of the first I read in my early years in the fandom, and it’s still one of my favorites. Love this art, too.
