This is totally untrue. 99% of the images in the game were paid to be custom made only for this game, and the very few that were not were royalty free.

thats not entirely true now is it... you got something called a magic keyblade... ummm square-enix owns the trademark to that and they do not allow the usage of their trademarks at all. so that would be one example of a stolen/edit picture but the name is still in violation

Yes, it is entirely true. The keyblade image is not stolen or edited whatsoever. It is a completely unique image. As for the "keyblade" term, I have no knowledge of it being trademarked, and I see it used widely on the Internet after just now doing a quick search. This will be looked into, though.

you see it widely used because it is a term from a very popular video game called kingdom hearts. copy and paste from a SE email.
