Question came up if making Sprites and Rips available to the public could be considered as a violence of copy-protection or in other words: Are there ANY laws which prohibit ripping GFX and in addition making them available for public/download??!??

Before getting the URL into public I need to get an answer to this question!

Or does this only apply if they are being used in Remakes -> and therefore the Remaker Programmer is responsible for using these sprites...

Any lawyer's here?

regards,
Olli K.

P.S.: Website 90% done. Needs some fixes and content(GFX-Rips) to add.
