Posting screenshots of characters is copyright infringement ???

[poblivion]

I'll clarify the situation first. The "witch hunt" started at FA, I don't know what better to call it ?. Content depicting vanilla races from Skyrim began to be deleted in large numbers. The justification was that these characters were subject to copyright. I wondered how it was with non-vanilla races ?

 

If the author of non-vanilla races doesn't mind that they are used to create screenshots, then everything should be fine?

 

And what if you use non-vanilla textures and meshes to create a screenshot, but the character is a khajiit race for example?

 

Thanks for the possible explanation (I never thought that creating and publicly presenting screenshots could be illegal) ?

It isn't. Standard SS's are subject to both Fair Use and transformative effect.

 

FA is full of shit and per usual dramascreeching, which is pretty much Tuesday.

 

Since Furries are often fetish-on-brain-makes-me-dumb-as-fuck and full of money, pretty simple fix. Post pictures, and if FA takes them down, sue the fuck out of them. Guarantee the first time a legal notice is served to a doorstep the "policy" will magically reverse itself as if by spontaneous generation quicker than you can say "yiff y/n"

We have no control over what happens, no matter how silly, that occurs on other sites.
