New Forums, New Site, and What they Could Mean for Us

[Xanthe]

Hi,

Just wanted to post, because this is completely hilarious... Being a gamer myself, and an artist, I took interest in this.

My illustration professor (furthemore, the artist who did the piece of work you ripped from the internet for your header) showed us your site today as a good example of copyright infringement, and the potential consequences of it.

Just because you aren't making money doesn't mean it's illegal. Go to Blockbuster and steal a DVD - take it home and copy it for personal use. You might not be making money, but it's still illegal, isn't it?

I'm glad you've agreed to take it down, but I know for a fact it wasn't because 'you two discussed it'. I hope you enjoy the cease and desist letter you received, and know the fact that the work itself belongs, in fact, to a well known gaming corporation.

I hope you've learned your lesson. Just because you found it on Google Images doesn't make it FREE.

Have a nice day.

I never recieved any "Cease and Desist" letter. I am removing it because of what him and I discussed(he wanted us to use his original art, and it wouldn't fit with our colors), and if you'd like me to post you what he and I discussed, PM me. Sounds to me like you're either making things up, or he's lying to you, but for what reason, I do not know.

We already had a new header setup to go with our new website, which is why I decided that rather than put up the original image as he requested, we'll go ahead and use our new header here very soon.

And no, we broke no laws.
