I love Firefly! |

Firefly I'm cool with. She's basically Rainbow Dash, but pink and minus the Applejack Les Yay. Not that AJ Les Yay is a bad thing.... |

Well, Firefly was meant to appear in FiM, but since Hasbro lost the rights to the character, they had to give wings to Rainbow Dash and use her instead. |

I often wonder how one loses the rights to their own product. |

@c4tspajamas: Copywrite doesn't last forever, it's something you have to renew every now and then, otherwise you lose the license on the characters/product and someone else can buy it |

Then how come they didn't lose the right to Applejack? |
| redweasel #119750 1 year ago |
copyright doesn't last forever, it's something that you cannot renew either. when you lose copyright on the characters/product nobody else can buy it because it has gone into the public domain, and everyone can use it without fear of litigation. |

^ also while it does not last for it last longer than there has been ponies! |

@c4tspajames, first you sell the names for all the G1 characters except Applejack and Spike to a company, then that company goes out of business and it's big mess to figure out who owns what now, so you just make palette swap expies. |

It all makes sense now! I don't see why they could change 25% of Firefly and pass it off as Firefly, cuz last I checked that was the legal amount of "difference" one could get away with without being sued for stealing someone else's product.
But it makes sense to simply not want to deal with that and just redesign preexisting ponies already owned by the company, but hey. It's a thought. |
