pretty sure what @anon7816926 said is not how copyright works o.o’’ lol
I’m pretty sure that guy is trying really hard to be endearing and constructive.
But he’s just so very bad at it.

If Hasbro decides to tell the company hosting fluffycommunity that the site is infringing copyright and / or trademark, how long do you think the site will stay up?
Practically every artist on the Booru followed the convention that the company that created fluffies was “Hasbio”. But no, you have to be special and use the name of the actual company for no good reason.
Whatever. Hopefully no one else will follow suit.

mentioning a real life company in a fluffy work has been done before, im sure
im using hasBRO in this one in particular because its supposed to be a before it turns to hasBIO
i’m just trying to go for worldbuilding, not trying to “be special”, heck i think old fluffy lore involved Hasbro changing it’s name at one point or something or hasbio being a subdivision of hasbro
There are no grounds of a lawsuit for mentioning their name, thats like being scared coke or pepsi will sue any fanfic that will mention their name on it
Hmm.
While I know where @anon7816926 is coming from, I also “did” use Samsung’s name for Samsung fluffies:
Though I am also open to changing the name on my piece if need be. But its not like this site is profiting off the target companies, and if we really wanted to worry about litigation, Id worry about PETA.
tl;dr we may have to observe how the situation goes

Whether the company is explicitly named as Hasbro or Hasbio, the intent and intellectual property fluffies are based on is still very clear. Having one letter change wouldn’t hold up in court, if we’re concerned about copystrikes or whatever. What may actually defend Fluffies from a legal attack of that nature would be the idea of fluffies being wholly divorced from MLP and its creators now, or that fluffies are parodies (and thus allowable by law).
But there’s no reason why Hasbro or Peta would sue the greater fluffy community. It’d just draw attention to the fandom, and its associated less-than-stellarbox content, which is something neither groups would want.

I would join forces with @Marakasaya1 to create the most heinous pieces in the history of the following if some ultra clown world timeline plays out that FC gets sued.

I am of the opinion that more alternatives to the Hasbio name should be created if people really want to move fluffies away from MLP. I can see the Hasbio name working as parody/satire, but not a lot of the work feels like satire.

I go with Hasblo for the parent company and change the product names (My Retarded Horsie, Dungheaps and Douchebags, etc) but PeTA is a political entity and first amendment protections in Burgerland here are strong.

I can always set the site to autocorrect Hasbro to Hasbio.
(Or literally anything else, for that matter)
I’ll look into it after my shift.
