And maybe its not that dark of a sercet actually. But yes that’s it and most of you guys guessed it. I have been animating MLP for like a year now and never watched the show, I am sorry and please don’t hate me. I did however watch clips all the time on youtube mainly for research to see what they all sound and act like for my animations. And in doing that I liked what I saw and was like “man I really need to marathon through this at some point, it seems like a good show xD”.

And so I did FINALLY a few weeks ago. And now I am on episode 1 of Season 2 that looks like its gonna have Discord in it. And I love it so far. Its a good and funny show actually. And even my brother has watched a few episodes with me(and yes he knows and has seen my animations lol) and get this so far he says his fav pony is Applejack.

So yeah I usually watch a few episodes before I sleep in between anime as well, never while I work though because I want to give it my full attention! Hard to pick a fav episode so far because I like them all but a few standouts would be

Party of One

Green Isn’t Your Color

Boast Busters

Feeling Pinkie Keen

Best Night Ever

And anything with the Cutie Mark Crusaders

But that’s just a few because I honestly like them all so far. And looking forward to the rest all the way into season 5. And you guys had some crazy and weird guess’s btw LOL. And to the person who guessed that I fucked a girl in MLP Cosplay. No I have not but that would be fucking AWESOME xD!

Now another question for you peeps. How are the Equestria Girls movies?

First movie is the only one I’ve watched so far, and it honestly seems a bit rushed and forced, like they weren’t exactly sure where they were going with it.  Still enjoyable though.

I think Applejack might be the most popular of the mane six overall.

The State of the Herd disagrees. Just as I recalled, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy are the most popular ponies.

“Problematic Neutral”

Though it looks like I was incredibly close to True Neutral. Also with Aesthetic tendencies.

This was silly and entertaining

True Neutral. Huh. I was expecting “Problematic Neutral” but I guess this makes sense.

okay so for anyone having the problem where you go to someone’s blog and it thinks you’re logged out and just gives you these buttons rather than the like/follow/reblog/whatever buttons:

…here’s how to fix it! go to your chrome settings, scroll to the bottom and click ‘show advanced settings’ and then ‘content settings’

you probably have this box ticked:

which is what’s causing the issue. leave it ticked and go to ‘manage exceptions’

put [*.]tumblr.com in the box and make sure the behaviour is set to ‘allow’

click ‘finished’ and you’re all done!

WE USED THIS AS AN IMPROVE PROMPT IN MY THEATRE CLASS I’M NOT JOKING 

jristz:

I read over that list and it sounds like barely anything, if anything, is changing. It sounds another control freak artist trying to put a scary spin on this because Heaven forbid art be anything other than a means to get them and them alone fame and fortune.

An “orphan work” is “a copyright protected work for which rightsholders are positively indeterminate or uncontactable”. According to what I’m reading about this new law, under the current law “anyone using an orphan work runs the risk that the copyright owner may step forward and bring an infringement action for substantial damages, attorneys’ fees, and/or injuctive relief unless specific exception or limitation to copyright applies”. Even if you acted in “good faith” (i.e., made an attempt to contact the copyright holder), the copyright holder could just pop up years later and sue you if it’s not officially in the public domain yet.

Or, y’know, your YouTube video might get DMCA’d by a copyright patrol bot.

Because people can get sued/DMCA’d/C&D’d/etc. just for using a thing that’s been “orphaned”, orphan works are problematic. For example, take public libraries. There are all these old books, anyone can read them for free. But if someone owning an orphan work pops up and demands that their book not be available for free in libraries, then there’s complications.

The original post is full deliberate cherry-picking and convenient half-truths. The only people who really benefit from orphan works are corporations. Take a look at how video game companies are reselling old games on the digital market. If the Orphan Works Act had been passed years earlier, all those games might very well be subject to public domain. Of course, as SOPA and ACTA proved, everyone hates copyright laws when they clearly benefit Big Business, so corporations spread this idea that “artists” are the ones that lose out here. Tumblr’s full of gullible control freaks, so naturally they took the bait.

From Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution:

“To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.”

Copyright holders do not have absolute control over their works (all you fan artists would get C&D’d left and right if that were true) and they do not get to hold on to their copyright forever. The only thing the Orphan Works Act actually does is put a tighter restriction on how long you can abandon a work before it goes into the public domain.

I recommend everyone read this thing here about orphan works, specifically “Consquences of Orphan Works”.

drawingaccountability:

I have some issues with this:

1. All articles about this issue come from one source. And it isn’t in any way NYT, but “Journal of Biocommunication”. Whatever biology has to do with copyright for artists - I have no clue.

2. “The Next Great Copyright Act” is not a name of the bill, neither official or used by media. In fact, it’s a title of a lecture given by Register of Copyrights Maria A. Pallante. Not a bill, a lecture.

3. This text is full of emotionally charged vocabulary. Putting words like “privilege” or “pressure”, or making sweeping claims about a bill that doesn’t even exist doesn’t make it a viable source.

4. This works both ways. CGP Grey explained it well - remix is not an infringement. And change which would make any form of fair use banned will hurt people like you most. After all, if not laws we have we could be talking about Star Wars remakes made out of art that is in public domain, or: for all of us.

5. Unregistered work is orphaned anyway. Orphaned in this case means that one is unable to find copyright information regarding such piece. 

6. This law can’t replace all copyright laws there are, because NO SUCH LAW EXISTS!

In fact, there is a site which has all the information about copyright law review: http://copyright.gov/laws/hearings/

All of that is at the moment a fear-mongering campaign to scare artists into a law which will hurt everyone: from old artists to new artists to public. Fair use, because that’s what apparently fuss is about, allows people to create stuff without worrying about being sued. And now apparently that is something bad. 

And a tip: if you don’t want your art to be used in wrong ways, mark under which license the piece is.

ATTENTION ARTISTS

Copyright law is about to change 

For more than a year Congress has been holding hearings for the drafting of a brand new US Copyright Act. At its heart is the return of Orphan Works

What does this mean for artists? it means it will make it easier for infringers to steal artists works and harder for people who are making or trying to make a living out of art more difficult. This will effect every artist and all the artwork they have created, are creating, and will be created. Corporates, Big businesses, and publishers want this to pass to make money out off artists works without paying us artists for past, current, and future artwork. 

Basic Facts About The Law Being Proposed

 - “The Next Great Copyright Act” would replace all existing copyright law. 

 - It would void our Constitutional right to the exclusive control of our work.

 - It would “privilege” the public’s right to use our work.

 
 - It would “pressure” you to register your work with commercial registries.

 
 - It would “orphan” unregistered work.

 
 - It would make orphaned work available for commercial infringement by “good faith” infringers. 

 - It would allow others to alter your work and copyright these “derivative works” in their own names. 

 - It would affect all visual art: drawings, paintings, sketches, photos, etc.; past, present and future; published and unpublished; domestic and foreign.

“Right now nobody has to understand copyright law because you’re protected by it, but under the law they are proposing, copyright law wont protect you anymore.”

seriously check this out, really needs to be stopped

I think this is sensationalized, but I’m reblogging this to encourage further investigation. Here’s the Copyright Office’s original report (“Orphan Works and Mass Digitization”).
