[17:40] <Tres`ni> Hi, I'm the administrator of box.crackmonkey.us
[17:41] <Tres`ni> One of my users posted a screenshots where his wallpaper was a picture submitted to deviant art
[17:41] <Tres`ni> (Just a sec I'll get ya a link)

[17:42] <Tres`ni> Now, if ya read the comments, the original author seems to be taking offense that auto used the author's image in his screenshot
[17:42] <Tres`ni> I'm just trying to make sure that auto has done nothing wrong, and also, what the DA stance on this type of stuff is
[17:43] <dygel> We don't have a stance. This is a non-issue.
[17:43] <Tres`ni> How so?
[17:43] <dygel> Desktop Screenshosts are covered by fair use.
[17:43] <dygel> So, the permission issue is a non-issue.
[17:44] <dygel> auto's fine.
[17:45] <Tres`ni> One more question, (sorry if I'm being a pain) if auto had uploaded the wallpaper would this be differant story?
[17:46] <dygel> It would be different story, yes.
[17:46] <dygel> Redistribution of another's copyrighted work is a non-trivial issue.
[17:47] <dygel> However, since the case in question only involves a desktop screenshot, it's analogous to, say, taking a picture of the inside of someone's house.
[17:47] <dygel> Technically, you're redistributing the art on their wall, but it's not a picture made for that purpose.
[17:48] <dygel> The simplest thing to do would be allow links to where the themes were posted.

Ok you ravenous souls you. You know you wanted it, you know we slaved over it, and god knows you begged for it. BBWinSkin is here for all your sexual pleasures. Ironhead started it. Mortar and Qwilk made it work. And Uzer finished it, along with squashing many bugs along the way. We are far from done with this project, but as it stands now, the BBWinSkin and BB4Win development teams feel the time has come for you the user to help us beta test our pretty little skinner.
