Guys i was wondering but like ESF has been up for pretty long now and umm like has ESF ever been confirmed by funimation? Did they allow to use their copyright material? Or did they not confirm it and just didnt do anything about it?

Funimation doesn't care about ESF. ESF won't get shutdown, don't worry.

Seeing as the ESF team do not profit from it (aside from donations from the communities goodwill), FUNi can't sue the ESF team. The only legal thing the ESF team is responsible for (to my knowledge) is the free distribution of the SSJ3 Ascension Theme mp3 used in the intro, but Hwoarang got permission from the man, Bruce Faulconer himself, so everything's hunky dory.

Funny, didn't know Hwo was the sound artist for the ESF team. D:


Anyways, as said before, it's an advertisement for funi if anything, since the ESF team makes no profit whatsoever from the mod.

Sigh, that only applies if the copyright infringement falls under fair use. And ESF doesn't exactly fall under fair use now does it?

However, Funi hasn't done anything about it yet, and probably won't.

Well, nobody knows for sure whether or not BFP truly got shut down, as for my personal belief, I just think it's another way of getting lazeh :p

There are two running theories as to why BFP was served a cease and desist. First, Budokai was about to come out, and the graphically superior (at the time) BFP was concidered a threat to Budokai. Second, BFPs team wanted an easy out, and what easier out than pretending that you were "Foxed". I find either one plausable, but if they were served, their service would have been shut down by gamespy, who at the time, hosted their site.

That's not the reason what-so-ever. You really have a habbit of talking out of your ass, don't you?
