For those who ignored or may have missed it:
A user on DeviantArt and PonyTown was attempting to steal Sprite through shitty off-color reskins, making unsolicited art of her, attempting to rename her and claim her as their "little sister." I tried to play nice with them and sternly both asked and told them to delete the skin(s) and posts. They responded with making excuses and trying to weasel their way out of trouble. I posted to here and Twitter about what they did and who they are to expose them. I also filed two DMCA reports to get the works taken down by force.

Finally, they have relented and have taken down the pieces, and hopefully deleted the skins too. It doesn't matter who you are, or how old you are, theft is not cool. Doesn't matter how much you like something, you just don't take without asking. At least the whole situation is wrapped up now.
