Hmmm Bitter. Okay 1st Off, 2 Of Those 3 Arnt Mine. And There Is No Copyright On The Images And Are Free To Use. Others That Are Going To Sim Download Sites, 99% Of Them Have Terms About Using There Content And Not Allowed To Use Em To Call It Their Own. I Can Bet Anything Ill Email Anyone That Took A Picture And I Ask Em If I Can Use It And Edit It For My Own Use They Could Careless. If They Posted The Pic Without Some Kinda Warning About Using It Then I Doubt They Care Its Being Used. You Go To That Site And People Take Another Pic And Edit It And Then RePost It. ITS A STUPID PICTURE! Ive Taken Pics Myself And Using Them To Make CC. My Guess Is That You Yerself Used The Sims Download Sites And Is Mad RepoMans Gonna Take Yer Stolen Stuff So You Wanna Find A Reason To Make Everyone Look Bad.
BTW Thank You For Visiting My Store

I'm not bitter at all. I'm only trying to point out that you & others are being hypocritical. you're using images that you don't have permission to use. i can almost guarantee that any images of tigger, tweety or taz are copywritten. just because someone took a rl pic of something tigger, tweety or taz they own doesn't mean that the original image isn't copy written. you can say you do have copy right permission, but i have serious doubt, although i won't say i know with 100% certainty. regardless if you spend 2 weeks using this image to manipulate it or it takes you 2 seconds, it's the same....using content that is stolen.

If I was to draw my own drawing of any recognized character, such as Tweety pie or Bugs bunny. If I made that drawing into a poster and started selling that poster on the net, I would be infringing on copyright laws.
EA themselves are taking a real chance here. For years now law companies have been going nuts on suing over copyrights. Many of them have departments setup just to look for infringements, so they can approach the company that owns the copyright and advise them of how much they can get for them.
For instants, one of these law firms sees Tweety in this game, they approach Warner Brothers and say we can get X amount of dollars from EA for this infringement. All Warner Brothers has to do is say go for it and it's on.
Seeing in newspapers what companies are suing people and other companies for in the way of copyrights, I could never understand why the devs were allowing it to happen.
