Found old Nintendo theme suites, need them to be upgraded

from WinCustomize Forums

So I found these old Nintendo Theme Suites:They are complete, with sound replacements, wallpapers, IconPackager, the works. There's 6 more: Zelda: Windwaker, Super Mario Sunshine, Pikimin, GameBoy Advance SP, Star Fox Adventures, and Eternal Darkness . They're beautiful, but only problem is they're for Windows 95-XPSP1. I'd like to be able to use them on my Windows 7 without the corruptions that happen by using old themes with new OS's. If you want these and the other themes to make compatible, I'll give them to you. Even after being made compatible, a few of them could use some touching up. Hopefully we can get an experienced group together to make these shine once again! :)

After what I said above, can you honestly say you think they would sue?

If Apple can do it so can Nintendo, so the answer is 'Yes'.

Pardon my opinion but what part of NO do you not understand? The N or the O. Just sayin'

 

Don't get smart. Everyone's saying we can't do it because Nintendo would sue, and I'm saying they won't. After what I said above, can you honestly say you think they would sue?

In all honesty, I've seen enough in this thread.  It has explicitly been said by the skin creators that you cannot do anything with their skin.

It's time to respect that, or find the door.

Nobody, and I mean nobody is going to modify these skins for your use Weboh. Would somebody with common sense please lock this thread now? Thanks.

Everything has a 'bottom line'.

In this case, whether or not the Copyright holder has indicated an intent to vigorously pursue their rights the original artist's [Pixtudio] representative [treetog] has indicated that permission would be needed, and since both Alexandrie and treetog [and their company - Pixtudio] are ALL valued members of the International Skinning Community their rights and/or wishes will be vigorously protected by anyone/everyone with such in their capacity.

No reputable site or individual within the skinning community can or will condone the mis-appropriation or violation of their property rights.

I don't think I can spell it out any more clearly....;)

Then does anyone want to make any based on these? You know, not using the original files or anything? So that it's not "illegal"?

Same problem here even if you don't use the original files I believe.  If it would appear to be a copy or knockoff of the original skin then I believe it would still be in violation of the coypright rules.  In other words what is the intent of the new skins, to bypass copyright rules? 

If I'm wrong Jafo will correct me.

I don't think so. There's themes here based off of Windows XP Luna and Windows 2000, and those got by the copyright checks. Then again, I've been wrong before....

Themes based off an OS and themes based off of copyrighted characters make all the difference.

How? The OS and it's design are copyrighted too. And there are a whole bunch of themes here based off of copyrighted characters too; just search Mario and see how many results you get.

Any way you slice it guy it all comes down to the same thing. If that's what you want to do then so be it but......do not upload to Wincustomize, it will be rejected. Do it for yourself only!! Any fallout is on you. Period!

How?
End of Weboh's quote

Microsoft [and others - eg 3rd party software people such as Adobe, etc] have always considered skinners' use of their base graphics/images as an addendum to its original use - not a copyright abuse.

A Photoshop Dock Icon is simply a 'third party' extra which enhances the use of the product [via Dock access].

This is NOT ALWAYS the case.

When Apple was about to release OSX a Windowblind pre-empted them which enabled Windows users to have the appearance of the Mac OS before even the Mac users.  Apple issued a cease and desist - and all the sites hosting the work complied.

The first such instance I can recall was pre Wincustomize.com ...on skinz.org....;)
