playing with your laptop in bed.

I'm not sure it's the radiation from the laptop that's gonna waste precious reproductive cells if that's what you're using it for. IYKWIM.

[LaDestitute]

Not sure if I'm going to believe something like that.

it the heat that does the damage, just like tight trousers and wearing clothes in bed.

Coins of Harmony - Six Collectible Pony Coins is the subject of an intellectual property dispute and is currently unavailable.

Hasbro’s copyrights and trademarks also include the pony character images and names such as RAINBOW DASH®, PINKIE PIE®, TWILIGHT SPARKLE®, RARITY®, FLUTTERSHY®, and APPLEJACK® as well as their corresponding “Cutie Marks,” or the unique symbols located on the ponies’ haunches which identify each pony (for example, the RAINBOW DASH character’s “Cutie Mark” is a rainbow lightning bolt emerging from a cloud).

Why am I not surprised at that.

[Putnam]

I'm definitely not. Hasbro has shut down just about everything that poses even a minor fraction of a threat to copyright.

[GlyphGryph]

Have they? I think they've almost completely limited themselves to commercial endeavours that threaten loss of their trademark or might generally reflect poorly on the brand.

[Putnam]

Sorry, my definition of "threat to copyright" may be a bit more lenient than others

Are you sure you aren't getting it confused with trademarks?

[SealyStar]

I'm definitely not. Hasbro has shut down just about everything that poses even a minor fraction of a threat to copyright.

I was going to say "Eeyup", but now I'm worried they'll C&D me for that one too.

[Sensei]

To be fair, I'd have an issue if someone was producing and selling commemorative coins of my active, toy-selling brand.

[Flying Dice]

This is one of those things where a takedown is completely reasonable. Because, y'know, people are trying to actively sell a product specifically tied to something which Hasbro owns.

[PTTG??]

Yeah, that's simply amazing that somebody thought they'd get away with it in the first place.

As an aside, why do lawyers feel the need to write the names of characters in all caps? It reminds me of the Lord of the Rings risk game I got a few years back. Every single card had a disclaimer on the bottom like "'ROHAN(c) is a copyrighted(c) property of PARAMOUNT(c) or WHATEVER(c) company it was that MADE(c)(c) the STUPID(c) movie. (c)"

[MarcAFK]

Because lawyers are actually very lazy and will just speed read through all everything, the caps ensure they at least see that theres something related to the case inside? :/

Yeah, I'd say here it's justified, but it brings to mind the more dubious takedowns that caused widespread butthurt.
