I dunno I think this decision hurts them more... I understand where they come from, but I don't really agree with it at the same time.

hmmm. this is my analogy; TL was contracted with a korean site to translate all the featured news to korean, but fomos copy pastes and translates it too on their website. would it help expand BW community? yes. would TL and especially its partner be happy? hell no.

Would everyone here know what Fomos is if it weren't for those translations? It's not like TL is some other competition community site like DES. Like I said, I guess it's something that they had to do, but I'm not going to agree that it was a good decision :s

If TL didn't have ads, you could probably still post credited translations and photos here under the protection of fair use, seeing as though it benefits the public. But, ads make it copying for commercial gain, so there's not really anything anyone can do. Kind of a shame.

Pretty lame, see where they are coming from though. Hopefully they translate articles constantly on their own time since they are taking away the option for people here to do it.

I'm having trouble imagining how english translations hosted on this site negatively affect Fomos... unless they plan to start doing some translating themselves.


they recently partnered with a chinese media site to publish English content

What do the Chinese care about copyright infringement?

Also, if photos are straight up copyright infringement, then this site (not to mention every other site on the intertubes) is in so much deep shit.

Disclaimer, the stuff you're about to read is pretty radical sounding and is mere conjecture, if I cross the line anywhere, just tell me:

I'm actually pretty dam sure that Paul Samshit, or whatever his name is, is behind this.
Call me crazy and a conspirator but I wouldn't be surprised if Paul secretly asked FOMOS to forbid using their material as a secret, backwater condition in agreeing to the IP rights for BW. In his interview he stated that he would literally kill the BW scene after all.

Although it doesn't explain why DES hasn't done the same, he must've realized the majority of BW content came from FOMOS. Unfortunately, if my theory holds true, DES may or may not do the same.

I'm doing my best to control my anger and prevent it form clouding my judgement but even amidst all this, it seems hard to consider otherwise. Ok, maybe it isn't but even if there were some tensions between English translations and copy pasting material on their own site, it's not at all zero sum for FOMOS.

I mean, it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to put in some delay between negotiations and the banning to dispel any suspicion. In addition, without the "care" of the Korean public as Wax stated, I'm sure it was thought out. After all, FOMOS or the Korean public as a whole would've easily agreed to letting TLPD out of the loop - it doesn't hurt them as much as bowing out to another more direct concession.

We need KeSPA lawyers. So we can carry on as we please and about half a year later have it all dismissed.

On a real note, this is rather disappointing. This more or less kills their foreign fan base, at least we can watch the starcraft streams.

It's certainly farfetched but nothing disproves it either. Wax said that Chinese media were now working with FOMOS - thus they decided to prevent TLPD from having their material. It all just seems fishy.

Nothing proves the theory, but nothing disproves it either... either way, it seems nothing can be done. So I'll leave it at that. I mean no harm.

I do not see how you can promote eSports if they are unwilling to get foreign countries translate Korean news. Fomos is not only a Korean company like it was, but it is acting like one too. Do they let Chinese forums (PlayXP, etc.) translate their articles?

I cant believe someone pulled in Paul Sams into this discussion. WTH? Is there no end to how much you can twist things around?

It's like xiaolin monks washing clothes by twisting it so much that it rips.

This was bound to happen, especially with fomos global.
Could someone start saving all Fomos stuff (esp interview and fan stuff) and archive them and post them for everyone to save

Well, we'd need someone more familiar with copyright law to really be sure, but I remember this from my experiences in recovering copyrighted videos.
"Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use."
I'd say interviews and such are for news reporting and comment purposes, so it may be allowed.

That being said, I'm not sure on the copyright laws of non-US countries. That may be a problem.
