And it's just another website that never bothered to ask for permission before reproducing the images.
I'm sure there are people, like myself, who have purchased LS decks that I otherwise would not have if I wasn't able to see the pictures first so even though they didn't ask permission, it's still some form of advertising and does promote sales. I won't buy a deck unless I can see all the cards. There are too many that I have bought, without seeing them all, to find that there are really offensive or violent cards in the deck and I was sorry I bought it.RiccardoLS said:And it's just another website that never bothered to ask for permission before reproducing the images.

RiccardoLS said:Nevertheless, the decision should be up to the image holders, shouldn't it?
RiccardoLS said:Edited to answer La Fanu:
No, Lo Scarabeo would probably deny the permission.
If a project would have been serious enough, however, it would consider it.
(there are a few websites, like AT, that have a generic all purpose permission for deck images, for instance).
I perfectly understand you get a service from those websites.
And it may be we receive it too (even if I don't think that few decks more sold can balance the bad).
Still the decision should be of the copyright holder. And LS - for instance - is against showing the whole deck.
