Talk:Fandom, Inc. (1999-2001)

Woo, this is awesome! One concern, you mention the 'upped their offer to $1500' bit twice, which can't be right. --Betty 01:08, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Ack, thank you! That's what happens when you keep rearranging things to try to get the structure right. *g* Fixed now! --Arduinna 04:41, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

other points of view

This article, which is written with a lot of flair and style, has very specific opinions about this whole issue. It seems like too much from one point of view. Maybe quote some of the press release / news stories for some of the other side? --Msilverstar 19:55, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

For what it's worth, this reads like a fairly accurate description of what happened, at least the way I remember it, and I think the author did a good job. Fandom.com sent a C&D and fandom.tv didn't comply. You can still access the letters through wayback at fandom.tv. I'm not quite sure what exactly would need another POV. It's mostly dates, facts, who did what and what happened then, etc. Unless you mean it should sound less happy about the outcome? --Doro 14:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

I didn't find anything, other than things like the quote from Salon.com that I included in the text. The very first move Fandom, Inc. made in all of this was to contact their law firm and have them handle it; I doubt they ever said a single word publicly after that, because most companies won't, once Legal has it. I'm also not sure that Fanlore's PPOV really applies to fairly representing the positions of corporations/industry, which have the entire world media as their voice, so I'm honestly not really willing to do hours/days of deep digging to find out their side of things, if it does exist anywhere. If anyone else can find something, though, or has a different POV, they are more than welcome to expand this! And if this needs a "more PPOV" notice slapped on it to bring other people in, by all means -- I can't really expand it out any further than I have, since I wasn't exposed to any other POVs during any of this. --Arduinna 17:17, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

years later

I think the phrase "two years later" is misleading. I don't think anybody heard of Fanlib until 2007.

Another topic: I just noticed that wikia seems to have control of the domain fandom.com now.--aethel (talk) 22:34, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
