Question about one of ur TOS rules

[destrugter]

Ok, I think I have been infringing someone's copyrigt (runescape) is it infringing when I put up their images on my site and don't give them credit for it? and if I give them credit for the image...does that make it legal for me to have the images? just wondering so I can correct my site.

This is not a support question, runescape is nothing to do with us.

I put it in help cause it had something to do with ur tos...

We not lawyers so we dont know specifics on what is legal or not.

If we are notified of something that is infinging copyrights (by the copyright holder, we ignore anonymous/unauthorized reports) we will remove it.

The TOS says you cannot upload any contents in violation of copyrights.
Whether or not your actions constitute copyright infringement is not up to us, its in your contract with the copyright holder (in this case runescape) so if you have any questions you should ask them.

You must give credit or it is illegal.

I said it before and I'll say it again.

State that the images are under Jagex's Copyright and stick in a link back to their site, and they'll be happy.
