Oh, the thieving so-and-sos! stealing fan art is so wrong!Or did they get permission in the end? I don't know how we can tell?
I sent her/him a message, it seems like it wasn't the first time for that person. Well, that sucks. visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I looked into it and it's apparently tricky to get the products removed on Taobao. There is so much art stealing on pony stuff it's not even funny.
Unfortunately, stealing fanartists' works seems to be a very popular practice among bootleggers.

Not many people care if someone steals from a big giant corporation. But let's face it, that product has Hasbro's IP on it -- and that they DO have the pockets to protect their IP. But really is that a baby scootaloo inhaling Rainbow Dash's hair?
How sad that beautiful G4 flutter pony was stolen from the original artist. This reminds me of the large art theft that happened years ago where someone was stealing pony art and posting it on Facebook as their own.
