Hyren asked:
I draw a webcomic, and in an upcoming arc I reference the Direct X demo Space Donuts. I wanted to feature actual sprites from the game (over original artwork), but I want to stay legitimate. I know there are several all sprite comics around now, and I’m unclear how legal this practice is. Furthermore, I’m not even sure if the Donuts sprites are copyrighted– they’re a free download with the demo and there’s no license file included. Can I use them?
I was actually referring to computer graphics sprites, the image files used by the game to represent objects on screen.
