CNN plagarizes brony artist
Labeled as one of the top stories on cnn.com, the citation of a MLP quote by an RNC official is marked by the use of fandom art, by Godoffury

You piece of shit, I was going to try to post this.
I can hear the butthurt coming from everywhere.
are we relevant again?

Let's start some "CNN plagiarizes poor innocent brony" spin
>>27935257
We've going at it for awhile. Should we start a petition?
>>27935257
Yes. Tara is involved with this story on Twitter let's tell her that CNN is stealing a poor brony's artwork.
>>27935130
>mexico
Nope, he dont deserve nothing
>>27935184
That thread's shit
>>27935265
What we really need are one or two good twitter/imgur sharables documenting the whole thing. a bunch of shares on imgur or twitter or whatever would do more than a petition ever could.
>>27935274
Yeah, if we could get Tara behind godoffury that'd be ideal. Obviously, it may be hard, she's probably indifferent because they're criticizing trump's campaign, but like I said the right twitter sharable "screenshot compilation" showing what happened and how easy it'd be for CNN to credit it might sway her.
It'd be hard to argue with Tara and not particularly easy to ignore her either.

Tara did post something on her Twitter
I don't have a Twitter or anything, but I made this petition
https://www.change.org/p/cnn-cnn-should-give-credit-to-brony-artist-godoffury
You can share it on Twitter and FB and shit
>>27935306
She already tweeted about this topic like 5 times already and she tweets out fan art like MLP, PPG and Batman a lot.
So I think it's a foolproof plan.
>>27935337
>they're doubling down on their use of the image
WHAT A BLUNDER
EPIC
And now it's a trending topic.
>>27935337
Kinda sexy pic they used
>>27935244
Bronies will always be relevant one way or another...
watched the vid
holy shit my sides
the quote came from a completely unrelated moment, from an episode that was all trippy and shit (s5 e13 if you're wondering)
>>27935457
Same. I'm sure he could have found a quote that sounded more like the line from the original speech. Why even copy from Michelle anyway? Don't they hate her?
Welp, mom knows.

For another day or so, maybe
>>27935482
Everybody copies from everybody, anon. If you looked hard enough, you could probably find the speech that Michelle stole the lines from, too.
I'd put my money on everybody using the lines in question all just copying from the same source.
>>27936444
No anon, not everything is copied.
I'd hate to have worked with you in school.
>>27936655
No you wouldn't. I was the guy that everyone in school wanted to copy off of.
>>27935130
This pic is and was the featured pic on Derpi today.
They just straight ripped it.
Straight rippin'.
>>27936877
So an intern at CNN did a google search for "twilight sparkle" and picked one of the first results. No surprise.
>>27935130
Thanks pone action /news/ squad.
>>27935600
How far reaching can this really go?
Fandom on the news?

Nice /b/ait :^)
>>27935130
Did any of the late night shows mention this?
>>27936877
>>27936904
No, other way round. The admins immediately featured the image when it appeared on CNN.
>>27939516
Unless Colbert did in his live show, probably not yet since I think they usually tape the episodes one day before airtime. I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them did in the coming days though.
Ahh guys, do we invite him to thread?
>>27939258
assuming it's even him
>>27935130
>story about plagiarism defense
>uses plagiarized image
>>27941761
>tfw the GOP guy didn't get a quote from Rarara
Post it everywhere
>>27942050
Who cares though?
>>27935130
So what if they did? MLP is just as influential as CNN, in its own way.

Artist needs to sue, get full copyright of Twilight Sparkle and Hasbro removes her from the show.
