I don't where to go for this but i found serious copy right infringements on CCP the infringement is on Eve Valkyrie

their is a company called Fata Morgana Inc 1. a Chinese company and the game that is Infringes on CCP Eve Valkyrie is called Thunder Fighting, the Box art has 2 Rifters and i played it to see if i was right, see if they just took the box art. well the cockpit of the spaceship is just like that in Eve Valkyrie, all the ships and Space stations look like eve assets the only thing that's not from Valkyrie are Little mech robots flying in space trying to attack you. then to round it all out, the "Boss" is a Rattlesnake, I swear to god ripped out of Eve Just a Rattlesnake ship.

I have a photo of the box art, not very good though it was on a TV screen and i couldn't get it to look good, and i don't have video of the game, just the store location and i gave the Company name. the employees don't know anything about the Copyright Infringement.

So what should i do? i cant find a way to contact CCP Directly, so i hope they see this and tell me if they want the photo and copy of my receipt or whatever they want to do, Please help

China has some very loose enforcement on copyright. It gets a bit silly sometime.

Corporate espionage is a big thing with China, because of patent law and copyright law being almost non-existent.

Random fact: in a certain occasion, I knew an Iraqi woman who had worked as electronic engineer in Bagdhad. Her job was to reverse engineer circuit boards for vending machines, since spare parts were unavailable. I met her in 2004, and she had been working at her job right until the American invasion; then her boss closed the workshop hoping that a) it wasn't a war target and b) it wouldn't be noticed if it was closed...

Hardly the most ideal means to informing CCP, though Chribba has a pretty good idea as to where to start. I was going to suggest maybe submitting a support ticket to get CCP's attention at least.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

Fata Morgana...where have I heard this before? Let me see....

Though, sometimes things might get a bit confusing, eh?

But then, one can never quite be too sure of anything, can one?

But, what is it really?

Can't help you with the Rifter knockoffs. Of course, anyone who's seen sci fi movies since 1949 might get the idea someone else is ripping off someone else's designs as a rule!

If we get chased by zombies, I'm tripping you.

Chinese companies rip off pretty much whatever they want. They account for a large portion of the world's piracy.

China is an egocentric 7 year old when it comes to shiny things others have that they want. I really like Chinese people, but that government of theirs and its business practices needs a torpedo up the port side.

Hey There,

Please File a support ticket under the proper categories regarding all information and evidence you have found and were you have found it. The Legal team would need that before anything can be done. As this Answers your question, I will go ahead and lock this to avoid future abuse.
