Flight "Ponyarchive" is down!

[Kodiak 431]

Apparently, Hasbro gave Ponyarchive (the premier site for pony torrents) a cease and desist letter requesting the site's shutdown. Ponyarchive reluctantly did it, but with a "middle finger" to Hasbro. Screenshot of Ponyarchive's site is attached. Honestly, I think that note Ponyarchive put up is the worst thing ever to come out of a loving community such as this. It completely goes against what bronies promote (understanding and tolerance) and, at the same time, bites the hand that feeds us. What are your thoughts on this?

 

P.S. I've also heard about some drama on the MLP Facebook page, but haven't looked into it. Anypony knows what happened?

-Sigh-

 

They were angry that their hardword was gone.

 

But I don't think they realize WHY it is illegal.

 

It is the same reason they take video's off of youtube.

 

Money.

 

They will soon come out with a DVD, and their thought is "If they can watch it for free, who will buy it?"

 

So they took precautions.

Woah, what a complete jerk.

Surpose this is the same with taking off videos on youtube? >.>

They are releasing dvds?!?!?! Must know!

The fact that they left a message like that is depressing; while it does suck they had to take it down, responding so harshly to a copyright request is extremely childish.
