Lezchill Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I've read through the site's rules on copyrighted content, but I can't tell if something I want to do falls under ban worthy or not. To put it into the most simplest of terms: Say I went to Google and typed in "Scooby-doo.png" and slapped that dog on a t-shirt and put it into the game. This was a free image readily available to all people on the internet. Does this fall under copyright and will it get banned? I promise I tried my best to find the answer on my own, but it seemed that most topics on copyright were about porting content from other games or music related. I thank anyone that reads this for their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioactivelad Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 The rule of thumb is "if you have to ask, the answer is no." Also, something popping up on Google Image Search does not mean it's a "free image". But, in this circumstance, nobody is going to care. I don't think it would be ethical to accept donation points for that mod though, personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerRick Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It depends on the copyrights the owner of the scooby-doo image wants to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
