Obviously not a good thing, but it could be worse I suppose. Rather disappointed in Fomos though

So, when do we get netizen reactions to this? I want to see how the Koreans are taking it and whether they support the decision or not, because that is THEIR fanbase.

Some of the progamer display pictures are taken from fomos right?

Somebody should save all the old translations and put them onto a website or blog. I mean what can Fomos do about this? I don't see how they would be able to get the stuff removed. As far as I know there is this fair use law in the US and I think as long as Fomos doesn't provide perfect translations of their stuff themselves this totally applies here. Of course I understand it if TL itself doesn't want to act like this though because it doesn't want to hurt its relationship to Fomos.

I'm never going to visit Fomos now. TL and its great writers and translators single-handedly kept the BW foreigner scene alive. They give a big "fuck you" to us and then expect to use us to make profit for themselves? Well guess what Fomos: "fuck YOU."

Well, I might be wrong but I think they would, and by extension we should too. I'm not saying you're the one that has to do them.

I think the thing we will miss the most is the pictures and the very big interviews Fomos does on players every so often. I guess we could wait for the English translation by them, but I'd rather thank someone who does it out of the love for the game and not the paycheck to churn out a translation as soon as possible with very little proof reading.

This seems rather weak. No one translates perfectly word for word from Korean to English.

As far as interviews are concerned why credit Fomos at all?
Our translators are (and obviously always have been) translating directly from the post-game interview and not from any of Fomos' stuff. :D

Seems like a really bad move by fomos to be honest. How does it hurt them in any way? Shooting themselves in the foot.

I guess SDM finally decided to translate things instead of stealing from the TL translators articles.

OMFG, how many punishments we have to take by loving BW?

First the scandal, then Kespa/Blizzard and now this?

TL translators are the best because they love the game and the foreign community! I doubt Fomos can do even a half-decent job if all they care about is money.

It doesn't hurt them at all. It just hurts our BW community. I can understand their complaints though. I mean we used to have a lot of beef with GosuGamers.net copying and pasting our news, but this is a little bit different when you have a team of translators bring us the news in their words. I mean to paraphrase interviews feels kind of stupid because you lose even more tone (not like this wasn't already an issue before). So, what do we do now? Post a few questions and a few answers and hotlink the article here without pictures?

Looks like we need NeverGG more than ever. Funny thing is she did stuff for fomos! o;

Couldn't say it better myself.

Why the heck are they trying to isolate the biggest foreign Brood War news site even more is my only question?

It's their own stuff, don't really see why they aren't entitled to stop the translations. They are the biggest fish in the sea, which does kinda suck, but not the only fish out there.

Regardless, thanks to all the translators who have done a wonderful job.

Oh. Guess that does make a lot more sense, as it reflects that foreigners are trash in their minds as always.

Hrm.. correct me if I´m wrong, but one main argument (other than losing TL translation team job security of course !) seems to be that right now it is really nice to have all the interviews here on TL in a way that you can search the forum for the right interview-thread.

Assuming that fomos is able to translate the interviews timely and in good quality, wouldn´t it be enough then to do what happens in other forum sections for quite some time now and just link a small part of the interview with the fomos-link to the whole translation ?

You´d still have everything kind of "here" in the sense that you find everything when you search for it, without the need of other ways to circumvent the situation.

It all depends on the quality of the fomos translation though

That last bit is the part that is worrying us. They must have 0 confidence in their own translators if they stole TL content, and then the fact that they partnered a CHINESE site to do English translations of Korean material does not bode well. We can't know until now, but there is clearly some lack of security about the quality of future translations. Not only that, but not all interviews have been translated, and not in a timely manner in a past. We can hope that this will be different, and I am sure that no one would seriously mind what you mentioned if indeed everything turns out fine and dandy (except TL translators maybe, but they did what they did for the community and hopefully not for any sort of status). It definitely does not cheapen their past contributions.
