She was clear that we could use her video's but any images we use must be credited to her channel as a source. I wanted to keep her allowing us to do this discreet, because if people start adding images and not taking credit, I would rather end relations then to allow what would be no better then theft. Except the videos are not her property (the only thing remotely close to "her property" would be a voice over). She uses them under a fair use clause, she didn't create the games, so she cannot demand you to link to her channel when you use screenshots of a game she didn't make. That is her way of just getting tons of backlinks to her channel, which is not necessary.

All screenshots uploaded here are copyrighted but used under the fair use law. Whether you take the picture from some video on YT or from the game, it's a copyrighted image but we get to use them under fair use. It's unreasonable and somewhat illegal for a 3rd party to claim that they have ownership over an image they didn't create.

Just thought I'd put that out there.

She uploaded the video's and went through the time and effort needed. I will not take whatever content we can from her video's just because we can. Her video's may not perfectly fit our needs, but she is the only person who responded, and I promised we would not upload a single image without crediting her, and this wiki will not go back on the deal because of a technicality.

The reason we do not use UESP is because it is lazy, pure and simple. We do not need to take other sites images because "we can". We do not need to take other peoples images, we get our own or we go without until we can.
