what is this supposed to mean? not only you stole the screenshots of other website, you took the wrong version as well. why would a serious website like gog do this?
Likely the screenshots are the stand chunk of screenshots that Silmarils/DotEmu gave GOG, and everybody else.
Wrong version screengrabs turning up; this happens a bit even today.
Ishar 1 is Legend of the Fortress...
what mistake did they make? From what I've seen those screenshots are from Ishar 1+2.
Edit: I see you may mean the Amiga screenshots, rather than DOS, although the difference is very minor (to me at least).

At first they had screenshots in French. So they probably hurried to replace those when someone noticed.
I thought you could play the game in french anyway, so thats not really a mistake.
Well, they must have thought so since they replaced the french screenshots in a hurry.
except for the mistake with wrong screenshots, they blatantly stole screenshots of other website. copyrighted screenshots
this is a practice of some cheap warez abandonware website, not serious website like GOG
Those screens were also contributed in the year 2002, seven years ago, making this situation worse, those screenshots have belong to MobyGames for awhile, before they even began putting watermarks on uploaded images.
As countersweet said, this isn't even legal.

Oops, especially the second paragraph.
GOG should follow MobyGames' example, but they certainly shouldn't steal from them, it'd be better if GOG simply requested screens from the community and used those to fill up their content pages."
They sure as hell can't steal screens from MobyGames though.

I'm not even sure you can copyright screenshots. I mean, all the content on these screens is owned by Silmarils/DotEmu in the first place. So how can Mobygames claim ownership to it?
I was under the impression MobyGames watermarked their screenshots to provide them with free advertising if someone used their screens?
Otherwise, I'm with Zeewolf here, surely you can't copyright screenshots?

I think that copyrighting screenshots is a BS. And if it is even possible, then the rights holder should be the only one to copyright them, not just any website which puts them online first.
high rated
1) no, we didn't steal anything, we've got all materials from publisher
2) and yes, rights owner has also the rights to screenshots
