@[The Elite] be careful with these images. (The currently training ones, like attack, strength, defence etc. over there >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>)

They're copy-righted to Jagex and using them on the website without permission could result in a law-suit.

Just be careful

What images? The skills?

If that's what you mean, someone should "alter" them.

Possibly make them a different style.

What? Did Jagex copyright the images? They ripped off most of the game from other games, they shouldn't deserve to have copyright at all . No but srsly, that's pretty unnecessary

No offence but you're 12.

There's copyright laws for a reason. It's not un-neccesary, it's protecting your work.

Yeah, I know, and why bring in my age in this?

I know protecting your work is necessary, but for example, Facebook got sued for 600M because they stole an idea. Well, JaGex stole majority of their ideas from other games.

They are even making a like... "CityVille" (My sis played it), re-make, 8 realms. They can't make an own game, and protecting pictures, I mean, thats not needed at all?

Theres tons of remakes of games though, I do believe you can take the basic idea of a game and just alter it enough so it's somewhat original in your favour.

I like how you try to type like you were coding >_<

I don't even know what you're getting at?

Registered fan site is not the same as no affiliation? What?

Why would Jagex open a lawsuit against a website that is promoting their website in a positive way?

He is saying that Zybez uses their images on their site, and they have been there for a long time.

They're not going to do a thing. When was the last time you saw a RuneScape-based website get shut down by JaGeX for using some of their icons? I'll list some that use them that haven't been touched.

http://rsdo.net/RSDOnline/Calc/SkillsCalc.aspx

JaGeX doesn't care. The only people they have shut down have been people that abuse the game rules itself, and it really takes a lot for them to open a lawsuit against them. It's just simply not worth it for them. It's not an issue the management team would have to worry about. If they felt it was an issue, they'd first send a DMCA, then if we kept ignoring the issue, they might, MIGHT, open a lawsuit against us.

TLDR; not an issue, nothing will ever happen.

Two of those websites are endorsed by Jagex.

Okay the arguments at the moment are:

- You might get a lawsuit for using Jagex copyrighted pictures.
- No we will be fine, a bunch of other websites use it.
- Yes but they are either official website, endorsed or affiliated with Jagex in some way.

Runescape wiki benefits Jagex in many many ways, they're here to help them and they may even have personal permission to use them.
RuneGear on the other hand, we are full of botters, real world traders and tips on a bunch of things they don't encourage, we don't benefit Jagex.
