Whats the big deal about the morphOS skin? You can find it on Aminet

No you can not. AmiNET doesn't endorse distributing stolen copyrighted work.

@lempkee

what about all thoose amiga skins you use on your morphos install

There are no amiga skins in MorphOS.

Guys, seriously, have i in any way said i would release this `%/#&%(#" skin? Do i have to repeat myself over and over??? This skin is for personal use ONLY, that is NOT illegal in any way.

Great looking icons, restore2003!

Don't mind the complainers, it's great to see that atleast someone is bringing more great icons to our favourite platforms.

@Desolator:

Thanks!  :-) Or better thank the real authors  ;-)

I have permission from some of the authors, i`m still waiting for an answer from the rest

I hope you will only release your icon pack until you have actually got the permission from all respective copyright holders. Everything else would be unfair.

why you make a big deal out of this? cant you understand why im doing this?

Good intentions are no excuse. Imagine someone takes a number of scene demos, rips the graphics, songs and disassembles big parts of the code. Then he takes all these elements from different demos and randomly merges them together into one new demo which he releases without asking the original authors to the public under his own demogroup label. Even though this person might argue "But I have only done this, because there are not enough 68K Amiga demos anymore and I wanted to give all Amiga fans out there something to watch", it should be quite obvious that this would be one of the biggest signs of disrespect towards the original creators.

Positive intentions would in now way be an excuse for this type of behaviour.

The amiga community is here to help eachother and do its best for it to prosper.

Read above. There are limits.

So im converting mac icons, resizing, recolouring, mixing different templates together, its just as hard and boresome work as drawing them from scratch.

No personnal insult intended, but if you had really drawn a bunch of icons from scratch you would not dare to say this ever again. If it really would be the same work, I wonder why you did not create a new, fresh icon set for AmigaOS which only includes your art... I mean, it's the same work, right?

haha this is so funny , everyone who wants to make a screengrab theese days must "check with the authors" before uploading the picture..

and the fuzz about the icons? , ok i am sure this is where you blue trolls will say "theese are MOS icons" or?..

i am really getting annoyed here , he showed a grab and now he is questioned! , and the grab was about the icons but everyone gets upset because of a VP skin he have which he downloaded from AMINET , maybe someone needs to loosen up?

maybe the blue trolls aint the WORLD OF AMIGA judges afterall? , infact that vp skin looks OK and yes its a copy from the morphos design but where in the world does it say that IF YOU COPY then use for personal use and DONT show it in a screenshot anywhere? , btw how does MORPHOS gow with this based on "we took what amiga had and made morphos , and we changed and made alot of cool stuff and we fixed alot more also and its better than any amigaos ever will be"  RIGHT?

yes this is comments we amiga users hear alot, so please tell me, is morphos for PRIVATE use only?

and andreas , where did you get the idea to mix in "The demo scene" into this?..

sorry but as i said, this is getting annoying..

[restore2003]

I dont need to listen to this  :-P

Listen, its easy....

Im am making an icon pack for the amiga, made by different authors, and its going to be released when i have got the permission from them.

This was the intention from the start, and still havent changed as of today.

[lempkee]

so can anyone please tell me what i have MISSED here? .

why is this nitpicking going on?

any of the "trolling" done here by the author maybe?

[restore2003]

@Lempkee:

Thanks for the support :-)  

[lempkee]

restore: i think its about , hey dont support amiga , support morphos ...  or just that damn we need to mention morphos in this thread..

[Piru]

@lempkee

If there is a troll here, it certainly is not blue.

I replied to obviously bogus "Whats the big deal about the morphOS skin? You can find it on Aminet", which is not true. It's not available in aminet because it was illegaly using copyrighted material.

There is no conspiracy, I just pointed out the facts.

You should perhaps take a break and think before posting, as some of this "blue troll" crap is quite offending.

[lempkee]

piru:well and i find it offensive that every time something cool is shown that some blue trolls jump in and ruins it.

about the skin , i give a rats ass and i belive him that he downloaded it from aminet , i know others have done the same so.

but the real thing here is, this thread is about ICONS and not the mos copy vp skin, i dont use VP even and i wont ever again but i am sure that this is the same point of thing as the MOS icons on aminet aswell (which also was removed when powericons came)..

so all in all, i wont go away or stop posting.

the skin is maybe removed from aminet but he found it on aminet , so he cant use it for screengrabs anymore? , was every downloader notified about this?.

i feel that this "nitpicking" has gone too far and been going on too long, and if its "just" now that people got upset with getting called "blue trolls" well then i would for sure keep out of ann.lu.

piru:btw i never seen you as a blue troll and i hopefully never will.

@kiru:

The skin was available under the name "anuferox" for visualprefs.
