Bid For Power Foxed?

32
The Bid For Power mod that has been in development for ages based on the Dragon Ball Z universe has just gotten a cease letter from Funanimation. (The company that bought the US rights to the DBZ universe). Thanks Mike Mathews.

Bid For Power has received a cease and desist order but we have not been shutdown or cancelled. An official announcement concerning the situation will be made tomorrow night. [screenshots]

Yes, that sucks a lot to have all your hard work stopped. However I am having a harder and harder time sympathizing with mod authors basing their work on known copyrighted material when it's so plainly obvious these days it's just a matter of time until the company that owns the rights to a property will come knocking.
