But does anyone see the WB community going after them for that....I think not. So why the double standard? What about Apple's intellectual property rights? How many OSX skins can i download here? What about when

Jeff, by your argument then every msstyles user should have their skin pulled off every site. But they are still using the same format. There is no conversion to a different format like .wba As far as artwork goes i don't see how every msstyles i

Don't freak out Joe. It's not like i'm patrolling the screenshot section. But if i see something i don't like that belongs to us i should be able to ask the admins to pull it. Doncha think? Oh and Joe if you want to pay her 325/hour fee to ask her i'll be happy to forward you her information. I'm just not that motivated if you know what i mean. <img

Not to be a argument party pooper but shouldn't we be discussing how as a community we can help raise money to donate for the victims in Asia? Everything else compared to that seems rather trivial. Don't you agree?

Okay well i read some of the posts here and at Custo. This is my personal opinion. I'm not a fan of auto-porting for the simple reason that i don't like the idea of an artist's work being transformed into a format that it wasn't intended for. Is it a crime? No. I think its more of a matter of bad taste and form than anything else. Example: Microsoft put out the Winamp to WMP skin converter. I thought that was in bad taste. It was disrespectfu

I certainly don't have the desire to take the thread off track. Just adding a my few cents in. We'll leave it for another day. Right now i have CES to worry about not if some artist is altering our work. Have to keep the priorities straight here

Showing screenshots with the artwork kept intact is one thing and yes would fall under Fair Use. Altering artwork and then displaying is not Fair Use. No one has any right to alter our artwork in any way without our permission, screenshot or not. Our work is released as a whole entity. Not a kit for people to pick apart and then display in some screenshot section. People i see here tend to abu

The EULA could be associated for the images i would imagine. But they would be protected by copyrights anyway. So it would be redundant. I don't think someone should be able to change your artwork and then show it in a screenshot. I don't think artwork that is modified or altered in any way without the artist's permission should be shown. I had this discussion when Boxxi ported our Catwoman skin and then showed it in the screenshot section. It

DesignCaddy: while i can't help you make the iPod run with WMP i can tell you a little trick so you can use the songs you purchased any way you like. Which is your right. Burn a cd with the songs you bought from the iTunes music store. Once they are on the cd they become the CD's format. All you have to do is play the cd and rip the songs off as mp3s or WMAs using WMP. It's ridiculous to think Apple has any right to tell you or to force you to use thei

CygnusXII: how can you possibly compare buying a hardware media device to a software application? Get alot for your money? That's like saying don't buy a bath towel buy sneakers instead because you walk more often than shower. One thing has nothing to do with the other. And if you're a regular at the Wal-Mart discount isles then you aren't really the target demographics for the more expensive CE market. People who have disposable incomes are. When's th

Jafo: you could do it like the record industry where the gold is i think 100k and then platinum would be a million. If you had over 2 mil then you would have 2 of them - double platinum.

okay man this is how it is: SP2 has security things in place that disrupt certain things. If you use SP2, IE and WMP 10 and you right-click and save the skin to your desktop - it won't reload. It will in Firefox or if you're using IE without SP2. All you have to do is click the skin link and let it auto-install if you're using SP2 or if you want to archive use a different browser. hope that helps.
