ripper

psychoticguyver · 13th October 2002, 21:33

i was wondering where is the seperation line from someone who does something like takes pics out of games and stuff and uses them and someone who just steals peoples work (like the ripper dude 883 has)

\/ how far is this kinda thing as ripping \/

If someone is claiming they did the work themselves, or has used someone elses work without permission then they are a ripper.

Finding an avatar on google and using that is as much ripping as it is when someone copies a portion or an entire winamp skin...The level of acceptance is however different.

Its a fine line as to whats ok, and whats just plain wrong.

I rip game sprites all the time. I claim I ripped them, but I will NEVER say I made them. That's where the copyright thing comes in play. Although in some rare cases I may say an image is mine, but I just animated it and made it from multiple images in a game...Take my biggest triumph: Ripping the Fusion Dragon and animating him.

[edit]Note: That is a cropped screenshot. It is not a rip. What game is that anyway?[/edit]

Example:

My avatar, it has to be said, isn't entirely original. Some people may even find it instantly recognizable. Not the point though. I have spent enough money over the years supporting Liverpool, and buying stuff with the Liver Bird on, that I believe I am entirely entitled to use it here.

Besides, I resized it, and I made the background transparent, so it's mine. Ha.

What are you using to rip anyway? I'd reccomend VGBA. It can do just about anything, from decompiling to sound ripping.

There's no need to tell me when I'm right; I operate on that principle exclusively and with absolute certainty Last edited by dylman; 13th October 2002 at 22:45.
