I don't see it as wrong if you credit the people involved. I said it in the topic post, and I'll say it again. Concerning video games too, it becomes free publicity if it IS done right, and when it's done wrong, it is wrong.

I wouldn't know about 3/4'ths of the artists I do now if it were not for me seeing pictures they had done posted in youtube videos, or on websites like this one.

I still think permission matters, though. It's their work of art, they decide what gets done with it. And just because its free publicity doesn't really mean people want their art used without permission
