Hi
As i promised earlier I would make a banner that I would share with you. Maybe you can't really call it a banner since it doesn't really have the measurements needed for a banner. Anyways, hope you can use it for something. http://www.webtwist-design.com/bankrollmob/mobbanner.jpg

Cool, nice artwork master. I really like how you use the Mob theme in everything you do related to this site. I especifically like the part where you mentioned the forum.

hehe, thats true. I forgot to mention. The images of the bullets and the 3 "gangsters" you have to buy the rights for using those photos. So use on your own responsibility. Thanks for reminding me admin.

A good way to somehow "avoid" serious copyright problems is to make the mobsters a shadow, maybe just leaving the hats with original contrast, so that way you can still tell that they are mobsters, but you avoid more serious copyright problems. It is still illegal, but less risky.
Best way is to create something new, from scratch.
Fair use. Fair use is one of the most important, and least clear cut, limits to copyright. It permits some use of others' works even without approval. But when? Words like "fair" or "reasonable" cannot be precisely defined, but here are a few benchmarks.
Uses that advance public interests such as criticism, education or scholarship are favored -- particularly if little of another's work is copied. Uses that generate income or interfere with a copyright owner's income are not. Fairness also means crediting original artists or authors. (A teacher who copied, without credit, much of another's course materials was found to infringe.)
Commercial uses of another's work are also disfavored. For example, anyone who uses, without explicit permission, others' work to suggest that they endorse some commercial product is asking for trouble! Yet, not all commercial uses are forbidden. Most magazines and newspapers are operated for profit; that they are not automatically precluded from fair use has been made clear by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Unfortunately we cannot use mastergryne's banner, we probably wouldn't anyway, since he (mastergryne) has not been paid for it But it's still a nice made banner!
