Yeah… it’s not like we’re doing this out of a previous experience with being in trouble over hosting official content or anything. It’s not like other sites have also cracked down on hosting LionsGate property because they are known to be litigious. We should take that unnecessary risk instead of waiting a couple of months for official screens.
 
We’re just being paranoid right?

@Corpulent Brony
Is your intent is to argue that we shouldn’t host episode screen caps either?
 
No, but it seems uneven application to not ban screen caps as well if the reason is fear of legal repercussions as they carry an almost equal risk.
 
@Derpy Whooves  
Whether you find someone actually filing a suit or not, how we are handling screen caps from the movie, and screen caps from episodes, is going to remain based on direction from the administrators of this site.
 
Is there an official announcement somewhere from the administrators on the policy and the reasons for it? I found this thread looking for that as I’m currently researching the issue. Thanks.

It’s not JUST for the legal issue.. it’s also the principle of it
 
At least, that’s what I’ve been getting from the mods posting in the thread
 
 
I do think there should be some notice put somewhere, like in the upload page… although, not sure how much that would help without it being some super annoying big flashing text, lol

We had a warning up for a little while after the leak initially happened. We don’t wanna have a notice for multiple months though.
 
But as stated earlier in the thread, Lionsgate is not really happy about this leak, so we’re just not allowing screencaps as a precautionary measure.

@Joey  
TBH not sure how much a small notice at the top would help
 
It’d have to be like on the upload page, in flashing big text (maybe changing slowly so it doesn’t induce seizures)
 
But that’d be super annoying, so, yeah

@ice1517  
Yeah, add a second red box like the DNP warning that just says right straight “no images from the leaked movie”. They’d only have to have it from now until the movie was released on DVD anyways :P

Having a spot on the upload screen to put up special announcements (like change in rules or special cases) might be a good idea, yeah. There are some announcements that are too specific to put in regular announcements (tag stuff for example), that would work out.

When the movie is available via a broadcast on Discovery Family, or is on Netflix, DVD, iTunes, or some other post-theater venue, this will probably change. But, personally? I would wait for an announcement from one of the admins saying that it’s ok before uploading anything from the movie.
 
There’s been a number of recent images with wikia sources. Any announcement on those? Movie’s been out for a while and I don’t know if it’s been released on DVD or anything yet.

So that’s why the Storm King’s gif that I posted got deleted… Lionsgate got mad :o
 
Ok, I can understand it completely. It sucks, but is reasonable.

The WIKIA has a disclaimer that people shouldn’t post stollen content, but I’ve seen some stuff there that doesn’t have a source that points to Hasbro or LionsGate so I’ve been deleting anything uploaded here that points to that as the source. If you see any that I’ve missed, please report them.

@Nathan Drake  
It was uploaded to the site before the leak happened, so it can’t be from the leak, so it’s fine.
 
In fact, it’s one of the very last images before the leak, so it’s kind of the “high water mark” for a lot of the searches I do - if I get to that image, I’m done looking.

@Masem  
Thank you for letting us know. These are exactly the kinds of images that are perfectly fine to have on the site - providing there’s a link back to the source.
 
The same company also uploaded several images from the end credits to their online portfolio, and we’ve been leaving those images on the site. It’s additional advertising for them, and they have the right to publicly release the images, so these should not be any problem at all.

The Movie’s end credits are extra awesome, because the company that made them started out just doing it like any other job, but to do it right they watched a lot of the show to make sure the characterizations were correct… and they ended up big fans of FIM.

So this may not be the place to ask, but now that the same jerk guy who leaked the movie has apparently leaked… well, everything else (because apparently ruining everything I was counting on to get me through 2018 is just a pastime for some people), what is the upload policy on art based on leaked material going to be? I know the actual files and whatnot is forbidden, but I mistakenly thought that extended to anything based on it as well, which is why I now (infuriatingly) know that season 8 will have an episode with Sunburst’s mother. Perhaps it’s my own fault for not considering that option, but seriously, is that allowed? Because if not I have some lingering rage over this entire incident that I’d be happy to vent through generous use of the report button.
Background Pony #F2CB
I am definitely in favor of swift and brutal enforcement of requiring the spoiler:s08 tag for uploading anything based on the leaked material.
That would certainly be nice. Although honestly, if it were up to me, I would place anything based on the leaked material under the same upload ban the actual files are under. But it’s also not my call, which is why I asked the question.
