Twinblade★ 4,084 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 She literally just took pictures of existing surfaces and pieces of artwork created by other people. I don't see how Capcom is in the wrong for using them for their games. If they are, then she is also in the wrong for selling a collection of other people's work. Link to post Share on other sites

Actually she took pictures of textures all over the world and had them copyrighted. That's an actual thing. Then Capcom took them from her collection and used them without her permission. Seriously do you not know that is an actual profession? Where do you think developers get those textures??? They have to pay for them or get them from a program that either has them licensed or they had to actually get off their ass and take the pictures themselves. I know you don't leave the basement much but holly shit dude. Link to post Share on other sites

Take the goat picture for example, that is literally just a sculpture probably created ages ago and you can probably find a bunch of different pictures of it on the internet.

They used the SUBJECTS in the pictures that were created by entirely different people. I don't see how she has a claim to that type of content. In most cases Capcom didn't copy the actual composition of the photo, lighting conditions, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

And she published them 9 years which adds further protections. And it's not like she published them a year before or the same year. She published them 9 fucking years before RE 4 and even longer with the other games. Link to post Share on other sites

There are literally famous pictures of roads that are fucking copywrited. You can't use them to advertise, sell, or take artistically as yours because they belong to the photographer.

The Capcom data breach showed that the exact files and filenames from the Photographer's copyrighted published works were used in the games in question. Link to post Share on other sites

The picture is separate and apart from the sculpture. Two people can take a picture of the same object and both pictures will vary greatly in quality. The picture itself is a different artwork. in any case... Capcom took her files straight off her copyrighted published work. Same file and file names. They got caught because of the data breach. Capcom took her texture work pictures and used in their games without permission. Edited June 5, 2021 by Goukosan Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 4,084 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Large and small companies alike use thousands of random reference images in their games. People take pictures of random art and landmarks they think look cool so naturally developers will use them in their games. This lady might have a case but it just proves that the law is retarded. Most of her book is just pictures of other people's work, its not like she tried to capture a specific type of scene or landscape for artistic purposes, she just goes straight up to the art piece and takes a picture of it. Wow what an artist and shame on capcom for using her 'work' Link to post Share on other sites
