Ok. Let's assume somebody wants to make some Vintersorg
images/wallpapers. One could either make something new with
no other VS images merged into it (perhaps only the logo), or
use photos shot by others. Perhaps copied from the official site.
Now. Most of my experiences tell me that people who wants to
make some kind of 'art' for a particular artist (musician/band)
often do so without asking for permission to use images they
merge into their own pictures. This far, I've only seen positive
(or none) responses from the musicians who've seen this kinda
stuff. Even though they might find it on an unofficial band page.
And what about these unofficial sites? There are lots of them,
made by fans. And bands _usually_ don't seem to mind this
either (free PR, I guess)
Obviously, the correct procedure would be to ask the owner of
every image used in your personal developed image, and the
same goes for an unofficial site. Ask the band/musician for
permission to open it.
So now I ask:
How would you, Vintersorg or any other musicians, feel about it if
someone post a wallpaper/image art of some kind without asking
permission to use every pic that might be merged into it?
Let's also assume that the quality of this work is good, or at least
adequate to represent the band/musician.
(nb: I've not made anything. Maybe I will, though At least
for personal use. But I'm curious about what you think of this.)
Oh - and also - are unofficial sites ok? (I know it depends on the
quality and correctness of it.. but still)
