    Are we allowed to buy other people's design?

    Technically, no. If you put the copyrighted image on a plate it has to be for personal use only. The plate and/or the image can't be resold. However, that doesn't mean that someone might do the work on the image and let you make one, saving you the effort. I think, in most cases, the creator would rather keep the image as their own so that it remains some sort of "unique." I made a Mirror's Edge plate that is virtually identical to hellonearth159's, but I didn't get the image from him.

    The ultimate goal is to get the copyright holders to agree to allow us to host their images with permission. We're not there yet.

    I did get a few verbal agreements at E3, that I can't talk about until something is signed. In one case, we'll have plates for an exclusive XBLA title. In another, we may have permission to do hundreds of plates. Lots of possibilities that I have to keep to myself for a while yet.

    Best suggestion: If you see a plate you like, try to duplicate it rather than getting the image from someone else. There are literally an unlimited number of images out there, so the possibilities are endless.
