i guess the translater team has to change up the format and put the main informations into continuous text. But anyways this is bad, because the feeling of reading an original interview is different. It feels more direct.

For the pictures - you have to change them. So that they become pieces of art and you are good to go. for example make a collage of the interviewed pplayers or use some filters and stuff.

More than anything, I feel that this will push foreign fans from SCBW to SC2. Without fomos articles and interviews, I feel the BW scene will be pretty stale.

Of course, if SDM and fomos manages to bring good english content on a frequent basis, then my worries are probably unfounded, but I know that I personally am not very keen on browsing a site where most the content is in a language I don't know.

Dailyesports offers almost the same content as Fomos.

Probably too hard to argue fair use educational purpose or for review? Surely pictures of Nada's body is to be used for both :p

The interviews aren't streamed live are they? So you cant even say you're translating yourself?

I know there are lots of lawyers and budding lawyers on TL, anyone to offer their legal opinions?

So are moderators going to ban people who put in the effort to translate an interview and contribute to the community by posting it here?

Can the translators go to other sites that FOMOS isn't being annoyed with and translate over there and we can just copy/cite them over here?

Who conducts the interviews or are they just transcribed from the post game interviews players do? I don't see how Fomos can claim ownership of those interviews. Just translate from a different source, what are they going to do? On the bright side doing that will give SDM something better to copy/paste for Fomos

This is just such a dumb move by fomos. What can they expect to gain? An additional $10 in advertising money?

Well, someone mentioned something before which would be a possible solution, depending how stringent fomos is and how lenient TL moderation is.
Just create an offsite, have translations and pictures there (change interview questions around, add stupid paintpixels to pictures) and then link those here and source them to that site. Create as many proxysites as necessary for Fomos not to be able to stop it. Seems like way too much effort for anyone to go through though, especially with the translators already putting all the effort into translating

Somehow I think it would be good for TL to clarify a few things in a news post in matters of copyright infringement and how things are handled and who @ TL actually decides which kind of action has to be taken... here are my 2 cents though:

1)
Copyright infringement is a serious matter but it also is something with a huge grey area, its sometimes hard to distingiush between black and white, even a writer or a guest can often not clarify whats actually a theft and whats not and often even experts have a hard time to argue on that.

2)
Copyright infringement laws have to be enforced to get punished! If there is no actual holder of a right in a certain area of the world (and fomos is no multi national company) there is hardly any way to persue a legal action. This heavily depends on where a server or host is located... China for example doesn't really have to follow international copyright laws at all legally because important global agreements weren't signed. Copyright at all gets only punished because companies pay the state to do so there...

3)
This subject at all is on a thin line here on TL as many posts or even userstreams features stuff, pictures and especially music which is copyright protected... Why only on this matter? There should be a strong statement in deleting everything or setting it free...tbh for fomos, it may be especially because of hosting issues as many pictures are only hotlinked.

Well, TL translators usually credit and link to the source. Translations are a a gray area of copyright, but plagiarism is plagiarism.
