Playstation 2 Skin

I believe that permission would have to be given by PS2 due to copywrite laws.

And YET we have many skins using copyrighted graphics without permission under the justification of fan art. I really don't understand.

Ya the x360 skin for windows blinds. If you can post that skin why cant someone make and post a playstation 2 skin.

google...

Well, it's just a skin anyway.... This should expose their brand wider. Lets go more further as Playstation 3 is coming in too.

You're right, Kona. It gets very confusing to say the least.

You post this same response everytime a thread like this comes up.

Probably because I have a good point that keeps getting ignored. If we allow other skins that use copyrighted graphics on WC without permission we can't say no to others. We can't have double standards.

A Playstation2 skin wouldnt need to use copyrighted graphics. Its all in how the author approaches it. I could make a skin for a football team if I wanted to, but as long as I didnt use their images to create it, I would be fine. Fan art is exactly that. As long as copyrights are respected to the letter, then there is no cause for concern.

I should clarify that my comment isnt directed completely at Kona, but its a general statement to all people wondering about this topic.

As long as copyrights are respected to the letter, then there is no cause for concern.

Then why are there skins on WC that use copyrighted graphics with no permission? You can't have double standards.

Maybe i shouldn't of started this topic if it was going to cause this much problems. So im taking it there is no playstation 2 skin. And i guess no one is making one.

And here we have yet another senseless argument of an issue that has been discussed over and over.
Please refer to the other 50+ threads about this issue for answers or unanswers. And yes, this site is flooded with copyrighted material without permission, but rests assure that they will quickly disappear if the copyright holder requests its removal. Not the same when a skin is presented with all the bangs, whistles and permissions.
As for the request intended with this thread. NO I have not seen a PS2 skin yet. Some authors (at least the professional ones) are skeptic about creating this kind of themes do to the hustle of getting the permission from the companies/corporations. Some less savvy authors will venture and create them but with little acceptance if any and usually fall short of expectation.
