Funny you should mention this for several reasons. One being that I, too, have a rather interesting TD wallpaper up in Windows myself. Another being that I captured a dozen or so stills off of the Golden Age of Video a few years ago while I was borrowing a video capture board from a friend, and used them similarly. > My questions are: > > 1. Would Thomas object to this being posted on the Invention gallery on > FES, or distributed by e-mail to Alloy subscribers who requested it? This is one of those thorny copyright questions, isn't it? Well, since you acquired it from a publicly-available movie, you might argue that it's all right to distribute, although it might be a bit redundant to put it _back_ on the website... Always best to ask permission, naturally. > 2. Would anyone else actually want a copy of the thing? You expect a negative answer on _this_ mailing list? Well, if this sort of thing works out, perhaps I'll dig up those BMPs...
