Now I'm not a lawyer nor am I good at legal battles, but what I can say is this: A copyright protects an original artistic work such as a piece of art in a show, but copyright law doesn't protect companies from independent artists to illustrate on Adobe Illustrator on let's say, a Twilight Sparkle with exactly the same style of art. Trademarks, however, are very ill-defined and is currently in the grey area, note that there are things that clearly not associated with Hasbro's organization (Every Pony Convention and especially the vendors selling My Little Pony art). In a way, displaying MLP characters in public technically is a trademark violation. However, you can also argue that with the 1st Amendment, people do have the right to assemble and share things that they love, and so that is one example why trademark law is so grey.
Trademark law can go either way for the better or worse, but regardless of the outcome, we'll keep rolling along.
