Tribute or Ethical Violation of Trust
« on: August 02, 2012, 07:58:05 PM »

I found a link on SAS this week that I thought was pretty cool, the High Quality Screen125.exe with Randomiser Program https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,16511.0.html.  The images that are part of the package are fabulous.

One of my favorite areas on SAS is the Share a Screen area.  There a hundreds of fabulous images here as well.  Then the light bulb above my head went off and I thought, why not update the High Quality Screen 125 program with some of the images from the Share a Screen area!  Great idea! ????

My motivation is one of tribute, to Monty27's Randomiser program and to the artistry of the
images done by our Share a Screen contributors.  However, I can image that some might see my actions
as "Stealing" their work or the work of others.  ??  But when you post your work on a public forum, do you retain or forfeit ownership rights to it's use.  I would be happy to ask for permission from those people whose images I would use.  That would be a lot of PMs or emails if I need 125 of them.  So is it necessary or just a matter of  common courtesy?  Nothing I would do on this project idea could be considered my work.  I'm simply repackaging the work others.  But I think it would be fun.  Of course, I could do this for myself and nobody would know.  If I released it to the community then others might enjoy it as well

So, I have a dilemma here.  Can you help sort through the ethics here?  I do not want to offend or show disrespect toward anyone with this,  because I'm so appreciative of the work your do for the community that I share in.  I value your opinions.  Thanks.

I have just downloaded Monty_27´s posted Mediafire link from the page you have shown above and
I have taken a look inside. It´s a pretty nice splashscreen package, I will have to give it a try and see
if it will work properly with my game. I like those aviation art paintings very much.

If you want to create a similar package but using IL-2 game screenshots, I will not mind
if you decide to use any of my screenshots. Once its posted on the web it´s for everyone to enjoy.

Dont worry, the site policy says that once you upload something to SAS its OK for others to use, modify or improve.
