(EDIT) FiW at least is back up with its own website now. If it gets taken down now, we'll know for sure it was Hasbro rather than uncaring Google bots. (/EDIT)
I was going to say that at least we still have the Mentally Advanced Series (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6109C69F1D59ACD9), but as of now eps 1-4 and 12 of that are blocked now too. I just watched ep 12 of this a day or so ago, so this is a recent thing as well.
I really hope Hasbro hasn't officially decided to crack down and that this is just the case of an overzealous lawyer or two. In the past, Hasbro has generally been pretty cool about this sort of thing, so I don't know why that has suddenly changed. :/
Given that officially licensed Sweetie Bot t-shirts (http://www.welovefine.com/3922-sweetie-bot.html) are available on welovefine, I'm going to have to call shenanigans on this whole thing.
Then again, I guess that's nothing to judge by, really. After all, for a short time, they were also selling Magneto (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/09/magneto.html) Pony (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/magneto-magneighto-my-little-pony-crossover) t-shirts there before those got pulled.
A few of them somehow managed to avoid detection by Google's auto-deletion bot in the first place.
And here's a reddit comment by the creator (http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/16p0kz/hasbro_starts_to_take_down_friendship_is/c7y2l9j) talking about what happened.

Though the timing of this in conjunction with the take down of equestriagirls.com (http://equestriagirls.com) may be a bit suspect, still.
