:Screenshots from the game cannot be copyright to any particular site or person. Yes you may have pressed printscreen, but with nothing more than that it is the game developers that have the rights to images of the game. We believe it is fair to use screenshots of games to represent those games and the characters, vehicles and locations in those games. Likewise with the game logos, it is fair to use them to represent that game. I haven't examined all the images George has uploaded, but unless they contain actual work that WikiGTA has the rights to, then I see no reason why they should be removed from this site. Even if we did remove them, all we would do is go into the game and take the same screenshots... that is a pointless exercise. Looking at [[Special:Newimages]], there is not much that would count as work under WikiGTA copyright, although perhaps the more arty screenshots that have taken a bit of effort to create - those that are along the lines of desktop wallpaper - may be removed out of courtesy. Also, I appreciate you coming here and talking, rather than forcibly removing the images yourself. - I was also thinking about emailing the WikiGTA team, to see if we could contribute to (or become) the unopened English end of the site - [[User:Xenon|Xenon]] 17:17, 29 March 2007 (BST) | |||
