I think we need to change laws about photographic ownership.
The photographer did not create any of these textures yet they're able to limit the use of said textures. Broken system.
These laws made sense when photography was an expensive-ish investment. They don't make sense now.
- dagw 5y agoyet they're able to limit the use of said textures They're not. Had someone from Capcom been in Italy around the same time and taken the same picture of the same broken window, then they could have used that texture as much as they wanted and the photographer in question would have no case.
- BizarroLand 5y agoThey do make sense, no one, especially a multi-billion dollar company like Capcom, should be able to take the fruits of your labor and not pay you for it. Capcom should have made sure their assets were properly licensed. Honestly, $12 million dollars isn't even that much money compared to the profits of the Resident Evil franchise. Her work seems to have added a lot of ambiance to it, so consider it a good investment that the almost didn't have to pay.
