Just one Question
« on: April 21, 2002, 05:18:08 am »
I am not exatly the most computer literate person on the net or the most familler with the legal side so I just wish to ask WHY DO YOU HAVE AT LEAST ONE RIPED WINAMP SKIN!?!?!?!

I dont wish to flame but I (and a number of others) wish to know wether you have asked the artists in question for the right to do so.

We ALWAYS get permission before posting a skin or plugin on our page.

And most skin / plugin authors think it's cool if there stuff can reach more people...

JimH,

You're not suggesting that someone swiped one of your skins without permission, are you?

People make skins for free because they like to help others out and like to see people using their work.
That's the only reason they make them. They dont get paid for them.
The more people they see using them the better.
The only thing they occasionally want in return is to be credited for making the skin.
As long as someone else doesn't try to pass it off as their work they're happy to see it used.

If you were the author of one of the skins and personally had a problem with it being used by Media Jukebox I could understand.

Nila,

[your post above was edited]

I appreciate your support on this, but Interact is a dis-free zone.  We try to leave out the idea of blame.  Or as Joe Friday used to say on Dragnet, "Just the facts, ma'am."

ny40,
I leave most of what is said intact, good or bad.

I delete posts that are profane, mocking, disdainful, thoughtless, or idiotic.  Some of them manage all in a single post.

Nila took a swing at the person who originated the thread.  I thought it was unneccessary.  It's gone.  Yours is still there.
