These are things I uploaded. Sometimes I made them, or spliced them together. Sometimes it's just clips of preextant things. Sometimes it's ponies.

If you are here for ponies: I used to host 360p rips from the official Hub website, under the theory that Hasbro didn't really care about them being passed around, and with the policy of directing people to the official iTunes a-la-carte offerings when they wanted to download it or use an HD copy. On August 18th, I got a DMCA takedown notice on all 26 episodes. I've gotten in touch with the person listed as the contact - apparently a real paralegal in Hasbro's IP department - to check whether this was really a Hasbro action and not just a third party with a grudge, but so far I've had trouble getting a straight answer. In the meantime, as is normally the case with DMCA notices, the videos have been taken down and can't be easily restored.

It's a bummer, I know. When I know for sure what's happening, and whether the videos will return, I'll let you know. In the meantime, if you want to watch ponies, I suggest doing it legitimately. You have some options:

1) Go to the Hub website. They usually post the full episode there the Thursday after airing - the same schedule I used on my channel - and leave it up for a few weeks.

2) Buy the episodes on iTunes. I'm pretty sure they're around $2 each.

3) Get the Hub cable channel (it's in the basic "family" package for AT&T U-Verse, and appears as a "premium" channel for most other cable providers).

4) Pester Hasbro to release a DVD or Blu-Ray version of the show.

I'll keep you updated on this as I investigate.

Friendship is magic.
