And in related news, the sky is blue.

Well, in one episode of The (newer) Outer Limits the sky turned purple.

..coming from the guy who dismisses the studio's rights in the work being distributed as the reason for them taking action. :rolleyes

No kidding, the forums on DVDCoverArt and some of their attitudes when you uploaded covers was deplorable and quite frankly childish. I'm surprised the owners of DVDCA let them act the way they did, but I can only assume they were the same.

Very immature :frowning:

Oh and Jeff: Stock photography and promotional materials are about as like as apples and oranges. However I understand what you mean about protecting their assets (as I explained in my previous post). I only hope some sort of donation system can be set up with the studios so they can be seen protecting their copyrights while we can still make replacement DVD covers.

(Crosses fingers)

Actually, the sky is not blue. It's just an illusion. :p)

Just had to say that since we are being sooooooo technical and this has turned into nothing but one big thread crap.

I remember there being an issue back in the 80's with the VHS logo (the one that appears on blank tapes and pre-recorded videos where the "VHS" is in a rectangular box).
That logo is copyrighted and at the time the owners of the trademark sued (successfully, IIRC) the producers of "adult entertainment", because they did not want to be associated with that business. That's also why the MPAA "X" logo does not appear on porn: the movies are voluntarily rated X by the studios and cannot use the copyrighted "X" logo.

It was a mistake for them to have forums in the first place. Just asking for trouble.

Also, I take it they'd only make one version of a title available? First one approved is it forever? Seems to me having several to choose from would've been preferable. But hey, their site, not mine.

They only allowed one scanned version of a movie, like a snapper conversion. They allowed basically any number of custom ones. The covers I was talking about were all snapper conversions.

Don't forget that Disney is also the company that sued VideoPipeline for re-selling their trailers to online retailers. Yes, that's right. They sued (and won) a company that was helping them peddle their wares through stores.

I just want my $10 back. I paid for it, downloaded one cover, and literally the day after I paid I the site went down.
