No more Screencaptures of Spartacus on AUSXIP
Hi folks,
Many years ago the Xenaverse was blessed with Rob Tapert and USA Studio
who
allowed us to play without hindrance. They allowed screencaptures and
artwork,
fanfic to flourish. The internet was in it's infancy in regards to
fandom. The
Xenaverse grew. USA did have some restrictions like selling images etc
which was
fair and they came down on a few people but left us all to our copyright
infringing happiness because we behaved.
We are not in Kansas anymore kiddies.
Due to the idiocy of some people in posting episodes that haven't
been aired,
creating artwork from these unaired episodes, etc and giving Starz a
jolly good
reason to stomp down (as is their right to do so) ALL the fans are now
subject to
a new ruling that no screencaptures are to be allowed. Now how do you
enforce
this ruling is beyond me BUT being that Starz has been very kind to
AUSXIP and
has given me clearance to post episode stills and other media, I have
complied
with this request. I do not know how Starz will enforce this on the net.
IMO
it's impossible but that's their decision.
So no more screencaptures for any Spartacus episodes. The official
episode
stills I have been posting will still be available as AUSXIP has been
given that
clearance.
Thanks for your time.
