I have a bit of programming experience and was thinking of making a HBT screen saver with contributed pics of our members doing what they love to do. Would anyone be interested in something like this?
I bet if you start browsing galleries and collecting media, you'll wind up with a great collection of pics. Compile it into a simple screensaver, and there'll be plenty of takers (as long as it's free...).
EDIT:
With a little more effort, you could probably make a gallery style screen saver that downloads HBT image content as it runs...
Not entirely true. As stated in my post above, no permission is needed if the images are only displayed as downloaded web content and not permanently stored. If you needed permission for that sort of thing, Mozilla, Opera, Microsoft, and a whole host of other software developers would be in a lot of trouble.I think you'd want permission from folks before you use their pictures.
I think the people are aware that when posting a picture online anyone can take it. That being said it would just be a courtesy if you ask people.
lol yes But I think this forum is a different case.They can, as in it's possible to do it. Legally, no. And it's certainly not good practice. Where I work, we have a problem with that all the time. Instructors will just take pictures off the internet and use them without any thought to who they belong to. We're always having to turn them down when it comes to publishing videos and whatnot when they do that.
