Copyright Violations???

Friday, April 9, 2004 by Stupendous Man | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I noticed that there were at least two threads asking for skins based on a television show or movie. Unless I miss my guess wouldn't that be copyright violation? If not, then why not???

Its fine, so long as you dont use any copyrighted images. If you use you're own, then it is classed as "Fan Art" and is probably acceptable.

It's all explained in the sticky thread regarding it. But no-one bothers to read it before requesting stuff.

https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=25&SkinID=975 Does this set of cursors fall within the category of "fan art"? Didn't notice any permission from Anheiser-Busch included. I think they're pretty cool, but....
