前面关於侵权系列文闹得满城风雨 大家好像都忙着嘴炮忘了开心玩桌游!? 为此小弟以我破破的英文 写了一封信给多间美国的出版社 希望他们可以为广大的版众解惑一下 以下为我寄给他们的信件内容： ============================== Dear Customer Service, I am a board game fan from Taiwan, I like your games so much and hope you can publish more fascinating games to us! Recently, board game fans in Taiwan have come to some problems. Most of the foreign board games are bought on official websites and shipping to Taiwan, whether the retailers or players. Nothing big deal in purchasing goods abroad. However, most of the games needs certain extents in reading English, such as reading rule books or text on game cards, which is troublesome for some of the board game fans in Taiwan. Thus we make a solution: for rule books, we translate it into Chinese and print it out; for game cards we translate it as well, printing it out in small pieces and putting into card sleeves. It helps people who find difficulty in reading English and make game proceeding smoothly. We share the translating sheet to everyone who needed. Some retailer do the same thing but charge as fee of translation. We are wondering if it's illegal doing this kind of translation without permission from publisher and what if sell to others for fee. Is it a violation of intellectual property rights? What should we do to play the games with fun while not against the law? Sorry for bothering you. We surely need your help to make things clear. Hope can hear from you soon. Sincerely, XXX ============================== 今天收到了Rio Grande Games的回覆 请见下文： ============================== I know some retailers offer the translations as part of the sale. If others offer them for a small fee, we have no problem with this. Thanks Jay ============================== 我打了两个小时的信 对方短短几句话就回答完了 老实说我还期待会看到"敝公司保留所有权利，请使用者慎行"之类的话 Orz 不过这算是好事吧 代表该公司其实允许商家翻译他们的规则书和卡表 翻译的蝇头小利也是OK的 (是不是"小利"不在本篇讨论范围中 请不要模糊焦点了 3Q ~ ) 其他家出版商我还没收到回覆 届时再告诉大家吧 ~ ~ --
