The validity of the complaint is arguable, the use of covers in the screenshots would probably fall under Fair Use. My main complaint is that the first email never really specific pointed out what elements were violating the policy. I actually did get a warning email about a week before the removal, but the wording was just as vague. At that point I had recently published an update and I thought that maybe something in the what's new section was violating the policy (which I changed). It never even crossed my mind that it was the screenshots. Then after they finally pointed out that it was the album covers, I was never given the chance to change the screenshots. It won't be black squares, it'll be the blank disc icon that Squeezebox uses. A lot of the shots have so many covers that it will be a pain to find enough CC-licensed art to fill all the spaces, plus the photoshop work to put them in there. I probably will do that in the future, but for now I just want to get it republished. The music titles should be fine, I don't think you can have a copyright on phrases with just a few words and it's doubtful that song titles are trademarked. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
