Well it's not quite a rom request. Just need a site where it's not broken into so many files.

If these are custom graphics, not rips, then it's another deal entirely.

No it isn't. To say that it is is to say that ameteurs count more than professionals.

You don't think there's a difference between spending 5 minutes copying graphics from an editor and spending hours drawing your own?

Do you earnestly believe that the original graphics were somehow generated by spending five minutes copying graphics from an editor?

HH's point = Copying graphics from a game is something anyone can do, complaining about permission from another person who ripped them before you is asinine.. You can't hold any ripper responsible for permission over the graphics. However, custom graphics from someone in the community you can actually ask and “should” ask permission for before using it.

Your point = Regardless, everyone is copying original work without permission anyway; and to copy professional work without permission should be no different than copying something from someone in the community without permission. (It all boils down to the same deal.) And you’re entirely right from this perspective, and I don’t think anyone can feasibly argue the point without it simply just.. going over their head.

The only difference I see is that you cannot reasonably ask the permission of the pro's (for numerous reasons) but you can ask permission from someone in the community easily enough if you try. Now, personally I don't give a rat’s ass about rips, SMW, or anything else regarding this, but yea. There is a slight situational difference. Personally, I wouldn't give a damn if someone took the graphics out of one of my hacks without asking me, though I would appreciate some kind of nod in my direction for it. (Not that it reeeeally matters on the internet, since your online persona is drown in a sea of anonymity anyway.) The difference is really just a fine line though, so fine that it is pretty ridiculous to even bring it up unless someone prior states that they flat out don’t want whomever to use so-and-so graphics and they go and do it anyway.

It can also be argued that since it is not feasible to ask the pro’s for their work, one should simply not use rips at all and work with only community graphics. This is probably an excellent time however, to ring in that we are on a ROM hacking forum and what we’re doing isn’t entirely within the boundaries of legality anyway, morals and personal feelings are very bent and morphed here for “fun.”

The moral of my rant would simply be, when examined logistically (Alastor’s tried and true method) we see that quite a few people act irrationally and just plain silly and over protective of their work that was just meant to be.. you know, for fun anyway?

From what I hear though, you have pretty good odds of winning SOMETHING with the scratchers. Might not be millions, but I'd take thousands any day.
