GuildWiki talk:Image license guide

I separated the optional attributes from the minimal attributes because people have a habit of adding the  part and not removing it when they paste the code, another option is to define this in the templates as representing a blank. -- Xeon 14:39, 9 May 2007 (CDT)

Template:Screenshot

 * "This is a screenshot of the game Guild Wars, and the copyright for it is held by the company that developed the game. The use of the image qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law, as such display does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material, is not being used to generate profit in this context, and presents ideas that cannot be exhibited otherwise."

Is this accurate? Do screenshots belong to ANet? I thought that screenshots and machinima fall into the same category as collages, photographs of copyrighted subjects and other similar derivative works, with the graphics belonging to ANet, but the "camera angle" and other unique elements belonging to the "photographer". I don't think we could just swipe any Guild Wars screenshot from the internet. -- Gordon Ecker 19:33, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

Screen capture or user-created image?
If I take a screen shot then add lines, text boxes etc to the image, is that still a screen capture?

 * It depends how much you change really. However, if you chose the wrong license, its probably not the end of the world. &mdash;♥Jedi ♥ Rogue ♥ 19:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

GW screenshot: Terms of use
Good explanation of templates en licensing use ! Anyway, I thought maybe it is good to explain or link to the http://www.guildwars.com/support/legal/termsofuse.php when describing GW screenshot license. It is good to know that it has some 'additional' requirements (no hack/cheats, porn, etc.) attached to it.-- -- ( talk ) 07:28, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
