Hi all
Please i'd like to find someone to explain for me the issue of copyright.
I want to start my game and it'll be full of graphics.
Now please I'd like someone explain to me:
what to use and what to leave.
If i bought the graphics from istock or wherelse what i have to ask about
If my friend bought a graphics and not used them can I take them from him and How they will know that these graphics are bought from them.
If i bought a program for design PC games and it has graphics inside can i use them or not?
IF I took some free stuff from the net . Is there a chance that they will ask for copyright later .
Like these questions. Please explain in details and in simple English.
Thanks in advance for any comments and explanation.
