Sanctioned to do what, and how, precisely?

I mean, 'sanctioned' to run a chat club or online gaming place (or whatever
Talk City is) is not the same as 'sanctioned' to make copies of someone's
copyrighted material.

.. That is, moreover, a site with not exactly professional design.

FASA does tend to be relatively picky about their public image, and
protecting their rights. Scott, I'm not calling you a liar - but I'd like
to see proof of FASA actually 'sanctioning' whatever it is that your site
is for.

(Hell, FASA doesn't even officially sanction the Shadowrun Webring that I
run, despite the fact that they _joined_ it...)

Point 1: No graphics is better than bad graphics.
Point 2: You are NOT entitled to rip off graphics from sites on the
Shadowrun Webring, or indeed any sites at all, unless the sites
specifically state that their images are in the public domain. All
creations are ALWAYS copyrighted to their creator/publisher, and you need
to get permission before using them.

If it wasn't ready for public view, don't post the address on a mailing
list with over 500 members.
