In that case, I hope they (1) provide quality translations, (2) have them up within half a day after original interviews have been published, and (3) do so on a regular basis.

Aren't most of the fomos interviews usually just transcriptions of the post-match on-TV interviews? Can they actually claim copyright on that?

I cite a global fomos article:

Fomos the biggest GameWebzine site in Korea signed a partnership contract with Gamma Media China.

Gamma Media is a Chinese media company not only obtaining excellent media platforms such as Xinhuanet and Zhongxinwang, but also providing professional PR consultancy services. In order to promote international communications and move up market influence internationally.

Through this partnership Fomos will have an opportunity to provide e-sports news to China’s xinhuanet.com and Chinanews.com, and Gamma Media will not only provide English articles, but also in Chinese to provide China with Korea’s e-sports news.


Fomos’ ChoiDaeYoung(CEO) commented on the new partnership “I am happy about this new found partnership, through this partnership I hope Fomos can reach out to the world.”


Nobody said anything about not translating from Gamma Media.

I would have actually provided someone with a link but that doesn't seem to be possible.

As if BW isnt going through enough problems already. Cant we all just get along? It feels like the Blizz vs Kespa has made the smaller guys follow in suit.

If nobody makes money off this site, and you aren't taking away from Fomos' viewership (which is primarily based in Korea), then I don't see the problem.

Does this seriously mean we'll never see another translated interview on this site again? Or even a lousy pic?


well, we arent even allowed to participate in any discussion in Fomos since registering there requires KSSN (Korean's ID)

and i doubt there will be threads openning up in TL to discuss those translated news (e.g creating a thread just to link to Fomos translated site?)

basically they just killed a bunch of international fans, and those wants to get started in BW.. TL had made it simple and accessible to almost everything..

o well..

No, TL can say that they also did the transcription of the post-match directly from tv and im sure its pretty impossible for Fomos to prove that its not.

Also, there are plenty of forms of copyright evasion, for example you just need to resize, add frames or change the color of a photo to evade the copyright.

PD: Sorry for the bad english, im not a native speaker.

Sad news, especially after they started copying TL's translations. Fomos is shooting themselves in the foot, they barely do anything to cater to foreign audiences, and TL did that without making any profit from it. They should have embraced it instead.
BW fighting!

Someone archive and personally save all previous articles containing content? Would be a pretty fucking big shame to lose all the good work of people translating within hours of the interviews going live regardless of the time it was, just because of the love for the game.

It sucks, but the only thing we can really do is e-mail them and make rational arguments, and refuse to visit their site.

Can they even sue if you link source and give credit where its due? All youre doing is translating...how is that even copyright infringement
this is so stupid
if you follow this logic me telling a non korean friend what the interview said would get me sued

I still believe TeamLiquid should pull a Kespa on them:

1/ Fomos abandoned the foreign viewers for years and never give a damn.
2/ TeamLiquid organized it and created a foreign community
3/ Therefore, TeamLiquid can claim IP rights for everything related to broodwar fandom in the foreign market.

If it worked for Kespa, it can work for us.

Believe me, i'm a lawyer + Show Spoiler +
not
