Why walls in screenshots 'need' to be reasonably obscured.
Tuesday, November 15, 2005 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

It took all of 3 minutes to cleanly extract this wallpaper image from the desktop screenshot.
This means it's 'easily' possible to be seen to be distributing anothers wallpaper without consent, rather than it being a case of simple 'fair use', and exempt from such concerns.
When a wall is predominantly 'empty' partly obscure the actual subject 'figure' and not just the 'blank' bits....![]()

the small 'Garfield' wall that's now partly obscuring the 'main' one....is my extracted wall image...reduced so as not to be 'extractable' in itself...
