    Quoted from frolic:

    Even with the case of Predator, 20th Century Fox lawyers had to literally be BADGERED into doing something about it by the "Anonymous Group" that wanted to confirm and out Kevin Kulek's lies.

    How times have changed.

    "Foxed" in gaming circles once meant someones lawyers crawled up your backside about something game related and money wasn't even going to change hands.

    Alien Quake conversion, 1994.

    The Alien Quake project has been discontinued by 20th Century Fox. I received an email on April 11th, 1997, from a 20th Century Fox representative that ordered us to cease all activity. The Alien Quake project was using copyrighted material without permission and this makes Alien Quake an unauthorized and illegal production. Therefore, you are hereby ordered to remove all your Alien Quake files from your computer storage. You must also remove all references to Alien Quake from any WWW pages or internet sites you keep or maintain. All distribution of Alien Quake is illegal and you should know that the Alien Quake team are under obligation to report the name and URL of any distributor to 20th Century Fox. Please let us know if you know the URL of a distributor or potential distributor.

    This was something being done for free by some students.

    It leaked out and is actually pretty good for its time.
