Regarding IPB's smilies copyright

[MRGTB]

This whole using graphics from other sites really annoys me at times. I look at it this way, if they don't want you to use there graphics (don't post them all over the bloody web were they can be downloaded at will by anybody, or at least watermark them for protection). Put that brain into first gear!

It's alright saying you should respect other peoples work, but when you see an image on a site you want to use. How do you know that site has not taken it from another site itself. Or they took multiple images they used to create a new one from other sites.

Lets get things in perspective here, there just god dam smilies (no big deal). It's not as though you just robbed the bank of england. LOL

Do you think vBulletin would complain if they saw an IPB site using there smilies, My guess is, I doubt it! They would probably be flattered they choose to use them over the IPB ones.

I can't believe were arguing over smilies!
