Hey guys, how's your Nightmare Fuel page? Large franchises tend to have a lot of trouble with those, so I'm told.

I try to clean my room, but my family keep leaving their stuff in it, so I find it hard to keep up.

Not sure whether to laugh at the irony or be concerned.

This feels like a cash-grab. Yeah, Hasbro should've licensed the font but it's been in use since 2010 and they advertise the fact that the show uses it on their site.

But this Pony has been super popular for, what, six years now? Why is the lawsuit coming out now?

Because now that FIM is super-popular they think they can get a big cash grab.

So, wait.

They waited for half a decade to sue?

For the use of a font that was a major part of the marketing?

EDIT: Oh.

It's hilarious, because apparently the Font Bros acknowledge on their site that Hasbro is using their font.

They're probably going to lose the law suit because

  • They have recognized the fact that Hasbro used their font
  • Hasbro has stated that they're using their font
  • It's been almost 6 years that they've been using the font, and ignorance is definitely not an excuse.

How long does it usually take for an artist to post up a completed commission (one that I did pay for) for a livestream?

[up] I guess it depends on the artist. I would assume it would be as soon as it's done, or at least within the following days.

Yeah all depends on the artist, how detailed it is, how many he has to do etc... best bet is to contact him and ask.

SantosLHalper Since: Aug, 2009
#144991: Jan 25th 2016 at 4:27:12 PM

I already did; it's just that last week, she posted the commissions up immediately after the livestream was done and I was a bit thrown off. Sorry.

On the other hand, given the subject matternote  of the pic I commissioned, I would have no objections to it being posted about a week from today. wink

IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that if you are aware that someone is doing something you can sue for and you deliberately wait to sue in order to increase the damages, that will count against you in court.

In order to win, Font Bros would have to claim that they only now found out about FIM.

Which is kind of hard given not only have they known, and it can be proved they've known since at least 2012... but the reason it can be proven, is they've been using the fact that it is the official font of MLP..... as advertising!

You know, something's been bugging me recently...do any of Coloratura's backup dancers have names?

Backup Dancer A, Backup Dancer B, Backup Dancer C, etc......

Of course they have names. Whether we know them is the real question.

Well, it turns out that I made a mistake when paying; I've corrected it, so it should sort itself out.

theLibrarian Since: Jul, 2009
#144998: Jan 25th 2016 at 7:35:55 PM

We should think up names for them.

Why is this bothering me? Is it because I like the designs of the yellow one and the blue one? XD

SantosLHalper Since: Aug, 2009
#144999: Jan 25th 2016 at 7:55:27 PM

I think the blue one is called Limelight.
