Screenshots and Copyrights
Tuesday, March 1, 2005 by WOWfactor.555. | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Yesterday I Uploaded A Screenshot Of My Current Desktop and Today I'm Assuming It Was Rejected. It's No Longer In The Moderation Que And I Can't See It Anywhere In The Screenshots Section. Now Before Anyone Goes Off The Deep End, I'm Not Whining. If It Was Rejected, I Say C'est La Vie.
I Have A Feeling It Was Rejected Because Of The Wallpaper That Was Used. An Artists Render Of What Should Be An X-Ray Shot Of Homer Simpsons Head. I Remember Reading In a Thread Sometime Ago That Certain Things Were Not Allowed Due To Copyright. So I'm Asking If Anyone Knows If The Simpsons Or Anything Remotely Linked To Them Is a No-No Here. It Would Save Me a Lot Of Time In The Future. So If Someone Knows, Leave a Reply. Better Yet, If Someone Has a List Of Copyrighted Taboo, That Would Help Too.
Ta Very Much.

In a screenshot, the wallpaper should be partially hidden by a window or something. The idea is that somebody couldn't just save your screenshot, erease the icons,etc on the empty black portion of the wall and use it. Open a window and hide a part of Homer's head and your screenshot will be accepted.

Yepper, just read the posts at the link - one posted 15 minutes ago: Get rid of all the icons on the desktop. Otherwise it's pretty cool.

Granted, I may be wrong, it could be because it was a Simpsons shot. But I bet it is because the wall was not sufficiently obscured.
Interesting nick BTW. Makes me think of another I have seen.
