It just kinda hit me that it's a bit rich that by hbi2k's admission, TeamFourstar is a company with a tradional corporate structure and stakes that can be issued, yet up until the very end they were claiming to be non-profit and balking every time Toei tried to take them down. It was one thing back in 2011 or so when they were a loose bunch of retards flying by the seat of their pants and maybe occasionally running a bit of merch if they needed to pay for a new computer, convention money or something like that, but as the years go by and it seems clear that they intend to run this thing as a business and regularly sell merchandise that almost certainly has some of Toei's characters on it. And they first got attacked by Toei back in the days when TFS could in no way be construed as a legitimate rival to them, so they got to coast that goodwill well past when it really made sense to extend it to them.
To be clear in almost all cases like this I'm going to be on the side of the fan creator because copyright law is fucking busted, but of all the copyright trolling I've seen, Toei doing it in TFS' later years is amongst the most understandable. Especially in the later years when they started portraying well-known Dragon Ball characters as absentee fathers, sexual deviants or whatever.
