"Hi-def" Link to the Past

Yeah I'm going to take a wild guess and assume that anyone actually using these "hi-def" LttP tiles on graal would result in Cyberjoueurs getting slapped with a big fat lawsuit.. Unless there's some exception that I'm missing?

Uh, I doubt cyberjoueurs would get sued for us using a tileset provided by a player that hasn't been uploaded to a server. Now if it was uploaded to a server for use publicly than it's possible, If they give a **** anymore.

Yeah, I was talking about if it was uploaded to a server.
IIRC, general rule of thumb: If no one's making money off of the copyrighted material, you can't be hit with a lawsuit. Otherwise, it's possible. Assuming it's being used without permission.

That's Nintendo's rule of thumb, I guess. Unfortunately, SquareEnix seems to follow some other rules, or otherwise this Chrono Trigger fan game wouldn't have been ditched :[ But this is going off topic..Sorry.

Of course you can; "fair use" requires more than just using it for non-profit activities. Cracking Adobe software and uploading it online may not be done for profit, but it's still illegal and they can still sue you.

Well of course pirating would be a different case.

But I'm talking about for example, if you rip sprites or music from say, Super Metroid and decide to use them without permission.

It's the same thing from a legal standpoint.

"Seatbelts cost more lives than they save." (I actually had another but it probably isn't too appropriate for the forums)

So I was wrong. But you didn't have to be so blunt =/
