Channel Hop: For the US release, Gabriel moved from Atco Records to their parent label, Atlantic Records, simultaneously with Genesis's move. However, while Genesis would stick with Atlantic into the present day, Gabriel would be dropped before the release of his next album.
Fanwork Ban: Scratch has a variation of this trope. Due to many complaints from Moral Guardians and some users, Scratch had to put a restriction of Five Nights at Freddy's projects, causing some to be taken down and the rest to be NFEnote Short for "Not for Everyone"—projects a little bit inappropriate, but not enough to be removed, and are hidden from the Front Page and searches. This was not well received by fans.
Scratch's success with introducing programming to kids with puzzle-like blocks spawned a lot of (usually educational) programming software that imitated its own visual project editor. Examples include Stencylnote Unlike others, which were intended to introduce and educate about programming, Stencyl is intended for game developing, Hopscotch, Tynker, and Google's Blockly.

Screwed by the Lawyers: Despite the widespread acceptance of Fair Use on the site, Scratch ran into two notable DMCA complaints.
On July 29, 2010, a recreation of Pac-Man was removed, because Bandai Namco Entertainment claimed that the "free" recreation could hurt their finances. A majority of the Scratch community protested, since according to their beliefs, a ten year old's project wasn't strong enough to be copyright infringement.
Subverted with this case. Somewhere in March 2014, the Animation Hall of Fame museum filed a DMCA complaint, due to a studio with the same name being hosted on the site. Scratch negotiated by renaming the studio to "Scratch Hall of Fame - Animation".
