"April 2010, FOMOS contacted TL on a possible partnership. FOMOS initially thought TL is a non-profit organization so it felt no need to stir up emotions by pointing out the fact that TL has been using its contents without permission. It turns our that TL is for profit. Still, FOMOS is open to it if TL were willing to sign a contract regarding the use of FOMOS contents."


Didn't TeamLiquid become insanely popular during and soon after the launch of SC2?

I doubt TL made much "profit" from their site before that happened.

If all of the content that came from fomos was done by members of the community and not teamliquid staff where is the the qualm?

If it is illegal to post content and link from other parts of the internet as well? What are the legal implications of the IP of websites?

From what I'm reading, Fomo's thinks that because volunteers translated Brood War articles from their site, that they think it made TeamLiquid popular and made money for themselves, and Fomos didn't like that and tried to make some negotiations with TL and TL didn't want it. What they fail to realize is, most of the visitors to this site are SC2 generation. It baffles me that Fomos wants to argue. Makes me want to never look at their site as well.

Quote the interview and translate them generalized so its not one to one translation. Leave out the picture and Fomos can't complain or claim copyright on that.

Question regarding Fomos content:

If someone takes their content, translate it, but not put it up on TL, is it allowed?

For instance, what if instead of just straight up creating a thread regarding a Fomos article; someone translates the article, upload it on a diff site, and just give the link to TL. Then technically, TL is not hosting any Fomos content.

Just a thought.

Well we do source the original article so I don't see whats the big deal with it. I might be able to see them upset with the pictures but over the translated article?

not TL, the users of TL; doing this would absolve TL of any legal implication.

however, this thing isn't about legal implication since realistically fomos couldn't do shit to TL if they decided to continue using their content.

it's a matter of respectability of one's site and respect between the big sites that sustain the scene. and doing this would be the same as taking the content directly. TL is just too classy.

anyway, i stopped reading any (fomos) bw content since they pulled this shit, there's no way i'm giving them traffic now or in the future no matter how much i'm itching to read that Bisu interview.

i say boycott their stupid asses.

How about this:

Somebody translates and just uploads it on file hosting sites, then all TL.net uses is the link.

IMO, you're still breaking their copyrights. It's more or less like sharing links to illegal downloads.

Its not blanket, TL is just blacklisted so you can post it on another site and link.

How about we upload it on Nevake? We don't even need to link it on TL, because a lot of ppl are aware of Nevake. We inform the users of TL of going into Nevake, then the articles will be on Nevake.

Not once, will we have to link any kind of site

Why didn't TL accept the terms of Fomos ? For me it seems that the terms proposed by TL to Fomos is not too fair, since they don't have the need to translate Eng->Kr and there's not much English content on TL to translate comparing with the amount of Kr content. I don't think allowing them to copy English translation to their site is unfair since it is obvious that they put money and effort into the original content, so when they share them to TL we should just share our product with them instead of giving them something of no interest for them.

It wanted permission to copy TL.net's original English content and republish it, unaltered and untranslated, on its own English language site.



I think this was the problem. Not the translations, all TL wanted for those was credit.
