lol, sorry Gatsu, I meant to be speaking in general terms. Don't get me wrong, I have no ill feelings toward you, I'm definitely a fan of your projects and your contribution to the arcade community. It's just these ethical questions about art that always gets me heated. ;) |

Hmm, but we can't violate a license that we didn't agree to. A license is just a contract. Breaking your license is pretty meaningless if you are the only person named in that contract. If I took your image, it would not be a license violation. It would only be a copyright violation, provided that you actually own the material in question. You would then have to prove that you own the copyright if you decide to push it through litigation. You would also have to register and file a copyright so that it is made public (if you had decided to sue). The OP has every right to claim that it is illegal and try to get the image removed. It is all he-said/she-said until it goes to court, because only the courts can actually decide what is legal or not. If the OP thinks that his work is not a derivative, then he has every right to claim ownership. Even more so if he had licensed the art (and has a contract that allows him to claim his ownership). lulz The OPs work is almost certainly derivative because it was used specifically to show off that particular artwork. However, it comes down to which images were used and if the owners allow him to copy the images for personal use. This is probably the case because it is common for game companies to release renders specifically for this. This is especially true if the image was released as a wallpaper or desktop background. Just the ebayer was a ---meecrob---, he has my vote. |

I get where some of the comments people are posting are coming from, though some seem to just be inflammatory just for the sake of being so. Ultimately...I know what my intent was with the post. And it certainly wasn't what most of the commenters seem to have made it out to be. It just sucks how it's gotten so blown out of proportion. |
