I would sign that apology because PA was going against our usual brony spirit.

Besides I would totally buy the DVD sets if they do come to Singapore.

Very Maturely (Sarcasm alert.)

Either that or 5 Syllable.

What's this fiasco thingy?

no way that's the ACTUAL letter they sent

Yes, that letter will surely work to call of Hasbro and make everyone all chums again. Truly, we are witnessing an epic kiss-and-make-up session in it's embryonic stages of life.

...is sarcasm tag really needed here...? I is confuzed.

Big Rig could use a Golden Retriever... Any large dog would do, but GR's are nice and friendly. They also totally wreck yards by digging for critters all the time.

How Big is Big Rig anyway? On a scale of AJ to Big Mac.

Pony Archives, apparently a site for downloading Pony episodes, received a Cease and Desist Order. They refused and sent very 'mature' letter back and then were forced to take down their downloads. This is apparently unjust.

@Moth: Ponyarchive was a site that hosted HD files of all the episodes. They got a Cease and Desist letter from Hasbro, and reacted in an extremely immature manner by posting a letter to Hasbro that basically boils down to "go fuck yourself". Fortunately the brony community at large seems to have reacted badly to Ponyarchive's actions and are currently brainstorming to find ways to convince Hasbro that not all the bronies have middleschool maturity levels.

A very justified Cease and Desist letter, I might add.

This is why Big Rig needs a bull dog:

I also picture him having a trucker hat of course.

@ Badwolfwho

At least the same size as Big Mac...the guy pulls freight carts weighing up to fifty tons!

That Penny Arcade is pretty funny!

Wait, what is the point if youtube is something they allow?

They don't really allow YouTube, that's just a lie everyone spreads.

Can any of us edit that google doc?

(Facehoofs at Ponyarchive's letter)

On another note, is this the biggest topic ever on here?

You should be able to. That's what I set it to.

No, really, was that SERIOUSLY the letter they sent?

Yes, unfortunately.

No the letter they sent was

Hi

Thanks for your concern. Since we are merely spreading friendship and magic we feel that we're protected by princess Celestia herself.

Also, we are not based in the US - so US law does not apply to us.

Please feel free to download the episodes from our website in order to learn about accepting, friendship and happiness too.

Have a nice one :)

@Psycho: If not, it's definitely up there.

And yeah, Ponyarchive was convenient, but the Cease and Desist letter was totally justified, especially as the first of the DVDs is coming out relatively soon. I just wish PA would have been respectful about it.

As far as Youtube goes, they seem to be pretty chill about it; part of the issue is that Ponyarchive accepted donations, which could equate to profiting off of someone else's intellectual property.

Oh, also, yeah the actual letter wasn't too horrible, but given that Ponyarchive now redirects to this, I'm still not inclined to believe that they were being mature about it.

But I get more entertainment out of seeing them have no respect at all.

I could care less about how entertaining it is; I'm pissed that they're making the fandom look bad.

We can edit that document?

Woohoo, you rock.

Yes your doc is invaluable Badwolfwho!
