Graphic makers permission?, Graphic makers permission? Options

[Maccabee]

Hey there are some really cool backgrounds on here and all the time ill ask somone if I can use one of there backgrounds to turn into a layout to put on my site for people to use and ive always asked for permission but there are some people who havent signed on since like 2004 and I dont think they will but I really want to use some of the things they made but I cant get permission cause they never see the request. So when that happens can I just take them? Will it be ok if I put a note on my site that says like "if you were the designer of any of the following images and you have not been credited or would like your image removed feel free to contact me."

Thanks for the help!

If your using it for YOUR myspace its fine, but if your putting it on a layout site for other people to use you cannot use them.
But you still need to give credits for the maker.
But i am not 100% sure so i would wait for a while before going and doing so.

If the graphic is from here (createblog.com) I think that would be okay, still leave them credit, and leave a contact for them if they don't want you to use it.

i think that would be the best thing to do. i mean people post their creations on cb so that others can use/admire them, right (unless stated otherwise)? so just make sure you give credit and don't alter anything. now if the images aren't from cb i don't suggest you use them. good luck!

If the images are from createblog.com and your making it into a layout to submit here to createblog.com Then I personally would find it okay. As long as you are not taking any credits for the images and you give proper credit to the original artists for any images or content used.

but is this allowed throughout cb?

I would think so. Createblog is a resource site for this sort of thing and anyone submitting backgrounds to the CB servers is granting us an implied license to use 'em. Make sure the original artist hasn't put any additional requirements on their designs (like having to contact them if you're using the resource in another submission) and make sure to credit-link them on your layout in a credit module.

If that all checks out, you're go for launch.

There is this person "amorywars" that has all these backgrounds but they havent signed on for like years. So I think it will be ok if I use them.

I think it's fine. As long as you aren't redistributing them as your own. Just link them a credit.

or post somewhere that the graphic isn't yours and state the designer. people post/submit on createblog for others. for other to use, admire, and even to be inspired. so i'm sure its fine, just don't jock.
