Yes, that's part of it.

I'm no copyright lawyer, but I don't think that will hold up.
Nothing anyone does here can establish their legal use of artwork they do not own or have permission to use. In other words, n00bs have as much right (none) to use someone else's art as saint has.
I get that it's annoying when someone's first post is a request for art, but you used the term piracy and that really is irrelevant here. Yes, it is inconsistent that BYOAC has a policy of no ROMs, yet turns an blind eye to artwork. In reality neither is likely to result in any sort of legal trouble for the home user.

I totally agree. And why fight it? I have also been a newcomer and my biggest concern back then was the artwork. Everything else I managed to google. Don't be surprised if a users first post is about artwork. Do NOT forget that you self once was a newcomer too!

Btw: Look at MY first post ever in this forum. Guess what: It's artwork-related!
