twist Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 i would never pay for icons. and i won't pay for these since you can just remake them from that pic ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briandl79 Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 They wouldn't have them made if people wouldn't pay for them... You'd be suprised at how many people will wind up paying for those icons, as I'm sure Brad will come in here and let you know at some point.... Maybe if we had a Neowin discount I'd consider it, just like the OD discount..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briandl79 Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 i would never pay for icons. and i won't pay for these since you can just remake them from that pic ;) That would be theft and if you are going to steal from people don't do it on a forum they frequent..... Also I doubt your "remakes" from that picture will be as good as the originals, especially in 128 size.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briandl79 Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 So you think if it's for yourself it's not stealing but if it's for someone else it is ? Hmm....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twist Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 So you think if it's for yourself it's not stealing but if it's for someone else it is ?Hmm....... well since the image is openly available and once i get it i can do whatever i want with it for my personal use. if i wanted to print it out and wipe my ass with it i could. and as for quality at 128 you should learn to read since theirs only go upto 72.

dayle Posted November 26, 2002 Author Share Posted November 26, 2002 cant the author of these icons put them up in color packs .so that they are cheaper 9.95 for icons is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briandl79 Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 Heh, your theories are ludicrous, however I won't argue with you...... The idea of selling icons, themes, etc is nothing new, infact quite some time ago there was a similar discussion about a Window Blinds theme that was for sale... Either way I will say these are great icons and props to the author, and like I said before I'll consider buying them, they would look nice on my ObjectDock...... Also knowing Brad maybe he would consider giving them away to a few Neowin visitors, just the same as the Neowin Birthday Giveaway, however seeing posts about stealing icons from them won't exactly encourage that....

Briandl79 Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 I guess you missed the little c with a circle around it, or maybe you just don't know what it means... It's one thing to be a thief, but it's another to be a thief and an idiot... By the way I don't have my nose in Brads ass, I just have respect for the author Paul, he does excellent work with icons, themes, and wallpapers.... He was featured on Call For Help a few months back due to some of his great wallpapers among other things.... And his FauxS-X icons are fantastic....

Briandl79 Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 It seems like you've somehow confused the unwritten rules of icon makers, which state that you can convert icons for your own personal use, however they cannot be distributed without permission, which doesn't apply in this situation because these are for sale... You can't steal something for your own "personal use", it's still stealing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomwarren Veteran Posted November 26, 2002 Veteran Share Posted November 26, 2002 I am afraid twist is right here. What you are trying to say I can understand yes but look at it this way If I (as an artist on a sunny day) sat down with a pencil and paper and drew a picture of a field which cost me 10$ to get into as it was private land etc then drawing or "re creating" a picture of it for my own personal use isn't illegal and I can hardly see the grass complaining :blink: Twist may or may not re create these icons for his own use but he has already stated he has the respect to do this ONLY for his own personal use. Some may call this stealing but at the end of the day its for his own use and won't affect anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
