EPTDidn'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 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? | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

I might be able to see them upset with the pictures but over the translated article? Lol. Kinda obvious TL is behind it so prob no. 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. | ||

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

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 | ||

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. | ||
