Like how an MLP fan made a "Fighting is Magic" game that one time and Hasbro sent the maker a DMCA letter telling them to "stop or we'll sue you". Despite it being a free game that drove interest to the source material, Hasbro HAD to protect the My Little Pony brand or they would have lost the copyright.

Gaia is doing the same thing here, BUT since Tektek had been going for so long without Gaia doing anything he could have fought it.

My thought exactly. After what has happened with Gaia in the past years they deserved to be fought in court by Tektek and lose. But even then, it will be the users who will have to pay the price. :/
(And I wonder if he could sue and have Gaia pay his court fees after they lose. If not I'm sure a donations page on the Tektek site to go towards the court case would work as well.)

Tektek has been around since 2004, and has been fully integrated by Gaia's community while being a wildly known presence by Gaia's staff for ever since. And only now 11 years later they are enforcing their copyright? Yeah, no. Nope. Na-da, I want to see Gaia lose everything because of how they are operating as a company for the past couple of years.

Come on Tektron... SUE SUE SUE!
