New Nintendo Screenshots at Pixtudio

Checked out the skins and they are really nice. It really blows that these themes are limited to Nintendo consumers but it is even worse that it is limited to just Europe countries.

Looks like I need to go hunting for a Euro gamecuber buddy...

I fell in love with their Gamecube skin - and now I'm in love again - with the Pikmin one. *sighs*

as usual, wicked work there treetog and alexandrie!

Anyone got any ideas on how we'll be able to get hold of them? I've got the Gamecube and Super Mario Sunshine one's, but to get them we had to buy the game/system, and I already own pikmin & eternal darkness. But these styles have not yet been offered to me....

and us americans get nothing... not fair at aww

Come on, someone here has to be in Europe and willing to help us?

wow, what is up with the recent posts being deleted? wincustomize is based in the us correct? freedom of speech? Seriously not trying to sound like an ass, but it is a clear fact that actual Cube owners, with owners of these games, get nothing due to what?

OK...ladies and gentlemen....

It has come to pass that certain people are trying to violate Artists' copyright by 'obtaining' these works unlawfully, and voicing their requests here, publicly.

Only one warning, my lads and lassies.

It shall not be tolerated, M-Kay?

No 'Ifs', no 'Buts'.....no argument... >

'Freedom of Speech' is almost always mis-quoted.

You are not covered by the US Constitution to request the unlawful distribution of a product.
That is either referred to as 'handling' or 'receiving' stolen goods and is a penal offence....in many more places than just the US.

The works by Pixtudio, [two admins on this, same site], were commissioned by Nintendo, and are therefore subsequently Licenced to Nintendo for distribution.
If you are 'Nintendo' then you are legally entitled by such Licence to distribute that 'product' as and where you deem fit.
The artist may retain specific rights to 'display' or perhaps provide alternate distribution, but in this case it appears that Nintendo has retained sole rights.

This is the 'real world' [tm], where 'seeing' a Ferrari, but not having 'access' to it does NOT entitle you to STEAL it.

Oh....one more comment...yes, they are Excellent work, as usual, hence the commercial success...

"You are not covered by the US Constitution to request the unlawful distribution of a product." Not a single soul in the United States can be arrest for a requesting. You guys have every right to delete any posts that you deemed unfit, but not once did I request anything, yet 2 of my posts were deleted.

I said no 'Buts'.

The comments removed either requested files or offered them.
As you see, others of yours are still there, as they specifically are OK.

We are obliged to protect Artists' and Intellectual copyrights...to the best of our ability.
If that necessitates the removal of comments and/or people, then so be it.

It is a non-negotiable stance, sorry.

I took note of 4 names, yours was not one of them.

Carlos....what would be the outcome of standing on a US public street corner requesting all and sundry to execute the US President?

Aiding and abetting a crime is also a crime....incitement to commit a crime or facillitating its undertaking is likewise.

By Wincustomize.com publicly allowing requests in this news post for public distribution of a product without license, we would be guilty of facillitating the act.

Removal of the requests and subsequent responses was/is the only legitimate recourse.

I dont get what u guys trying to argue for. If someone wants to get a hand on it by any mean, just let him do it, not out business anywayz

nguyenhuy81....ah, but there you are wrong.
It IS 'our business'.
Any graphics stolen from Nintendo, created by Pixtudio devalue their worth.
And since the principals of Pixtudio are admins on this site, then so, too does Wincustomize.com 'suffer'.

Failure to maintain control of corporate copyright and Intellectual property will ultimately spell the death of a site, a 'hobby', a community.

Someone must give a damn, or else.

Looks like we'll just have to import UK versions of GameCube games...

Heyas
In reference to weaselw3's comment, I have the same problem. I am from the UK and registered as a VIP member of the European nintendo site. Upon registering my gc, super mario sunshine, eternal darkness, starfox and some other games I rec'd among other things the gc and sunshine themes. I have registered eternal darkness also and received a number of star treasures but not the eternal darkness theme. At present it seems like the theme is not on offer for even those who have registered eternal darkness. I have emailed nintendo UK but have rec'd no reply. It could be that registered users of eternal darkness will be offered the theme soon, but at present it's a no go for me in the UK. Curious if anyone else is experiencing similar probs
