Couple of questions

DC Evolution did you not host a image with 15000 sid tunes all of them are under copyright btw. No change hosting that then hosting 10000 c64 games many of the tunes were under copyright still are by major software houses that hold the rights to them sid tune is not just music but part of the game. Even the word Dreamcast is a TM or trademark this is going to be slippery slope your heading down all bor mods need to be removed all divix themes and dream induce thems and a lot of SBI paks will all so need to be removed if were doing this to be totaly legal?. If you want to be clean there is a lot of cleaning to do site names to be changed.

Or is it just to create a new logo what im asking. If it's ok for boob covers to still be around i think i would still use there templates for covers.

Want to gadge what this is all about. As there is a big spider web of copy right images right throu the dc scene. Smash TV clone for example one of the best homebrews uses copyright like-ness and sprite ripps. List is large.

If this is not really about being clean and just a new image for homebrew ?

Yeah about what i want to know if i have to re do lots on my site to please people ?

Ian, I point you towards this:

[quote author=MetaFox link=board=art;num=1096803412;start=0#10 date=10/03/04 at 16:43:40]This isn't a "change it or else" type of thing. We're not forcing people to not use copyrighted graphics. If they want to do that, we are not going to stop them (well, except for the contest of course. :P).

I just felt like there was a need for a change. We've been doing the same thing since 2000, and now that the community is getting larger, and more of the media's attention are on us (and it's only going to grow), we have to start the ball rolling for more a professional appearance.[/quote]No one has to follow our example - but I hope that most people will.

[quote author=Ian_micheal link=board=DCGP2004;num=1096668276;start=0#11 date=10/03/04 at 01:59:55]Thanks metafox.. Yes i had been told other info from a few people. Would it not be possable to get a low budget lic officaly from sega for homebrew releases. Then trademarks could be used. Even if it was 50 cents per release to sega. Just sits un easy to me that they get nothing and did all the work.[/quote]This is being worked on as we speak. We're already taking some steps toward some kind of solution about getting our commercial independant software officially licensed, so we can get Dreamcast games back into retail outlets.

I didn't want to say anything about this beyond the small comment I made in my Retrogamer Magazine interview, as it's too early to comment. However, seeing that you brought it up, I felt I had to spill the beans.

Nothing is guaranteed to come from this, but I'm personally keeping an optimistic outlook.
