Are you saying you uploaded a wallpaper that you did not create at all? If so, that's a no no... regardless of giving credit...

Not only is credit due, but permission is required.

see thisWWW Link

Very true, and with this particular artist, I did show him the work I had done. Thanks RPGFX and Lantec!
Great points!

The only wallpaper you are allowed to upload is your own.

You cannot upload another's wall....

jazzilady, if you see any work posted where the uploader is using the work of someone else and doesn't have permission included with the download, PM a mod to look into it.

As others have said, permission from the original artist giving the uploader specific rights to redistribute must be included with the work.

Is using someones scripts to create a piece of art something you need permission for? All I see on dfeaton316's site are a bunch of scripts. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understand that it works is, you input the script into Apophysis and it sets it up to make a given shape or design. If you create a piece of art from a few scripts, is that your own work or not?   It seems like copyright issues could go either way on this one.

**Presuming this is for an upload here at WinCustomize** 

Personally, I'd answer that as a 'no' ...as the scripts were not created by the wallmaker.

Whether it be the art itself, or the scripts to make it in a program [that uses scripts] to generate the art ~permission would still be needed from it's ORIGINAL author, although the call on the scripts issue would be a tough one as there'd be difficulty proving that a person actually made and/or used that script.

Unless, of course, if that script generated something unique and identical everytime it was used, and was identifiable as belonging to its original creator.

If a script created by another is uploaded into a 'do it itself' program then what, pray tell is the resulting wall uploader claiming as his?

If it is a robot painting a wall with a robot brush then it is the robot's art...not that of the person who pressed 'go'.

I think it's a very good reason to reject subsequent submissions outright.

Just to add to post #8....

If PART of a wallpaper is a script-generated image which is subsequently added to....amended....revised...whatever...to become a complete wallpaper then the script's author 'should' be credited [assuming there is permission to use the script], and it really should be indicated exactly what was 'used' and what was 'new'.

Without explanation the impression in the text/description is the entire wall image was 'scripted' and thus non-original....

A script is a tool . . like a brush.  Is permission needed to use a brush?  
And what if the script isn't used to generate a wall but is used to create an action or event (like in DesktopX)?  For those submissions, permission *is* required.

So, basicaly, if you use someones script to make something for upload, you need permission...period.  

If that brush moves on it's own.

You don't think creating a wall is an 'action'?

I meant a script in a DX object that opens a browser, loads a page, and sings "Ave Maria". 

If the brush is someone else's ...yep

Including Adobe's?
