This type of attitude makes me a sad panda. When you start siding with the corporations, you start to lose your soul.
Again, who is losing money from the production of these plushies?

The original artist wasn't planning on doing that so by your logic that is just fine.

Plus Hasbro made a loss last year which they cannot keep affording to do otherwise they'll go under and we will no longer have any new ponies at all. So everyone really.

It is one thing to go and open a shop that directly competes with hasbro. It is a complete other thing when it is a small time person making things by commission. I know they are in their rights, but their rights are stupid. And you can't go to pony fairs, see people selling plushes go, 'oh nice, we love that kind of thing' and then turn around and call out the lawyers. It is inconsistent and confusing.Also, they do enforce their copyright, doing this doesn't change anything. You only need to keep making things under copyright to enforce it.

Just because she put more effort into it than just printing something out doesn't change that.
My only problem with this is "Why go after only one person?" Well as far as we know it's only been one.... There are several people out there who are making customs of the FiM Characters, from dolls to plushies and even artwork... It doesn't make sense to me really...
