The trademark/copyright argument always struck me as a little bit of nonsense...waffle issued by Hasbro so that they could do what they like....there are so many holes in the legally of what this claims
This. I don't believe Hasbro lost the copyrights/trademarks/what-have-you at all. I think they fed Lauren Faust a line of legal mumbo-jumbo so she would THINK they had . . . because they wanted to continue using the G3 characters they had invested so much advertising $$$ into.
For having "lost the rights", Hasbro certainly has been plastering the image of many G1 ponies--INCLUDING FIREFLY--all over shirts and other merchandise.
