Does a screensaver need permission by game Company?


Lets say I like Super Mario, Take some Screenshots while playing. Its legal to Post Screenshots. What if i Program a screensaver with my Screenshots to earn money. The screensaver will be Sold for Windows. Would that be legal or would i break Nintendos rights?

Regards


Solution

  • It is not legal to post screenshots of copyrighted and not free-licensed game. So its the same case for a screensaver.

    Posting or selling one or the other is illegal. Also, there might be copyright infringement involved.
