Theft may sound a bit hard, but its not totally inappropiate. Copyright infringment kinda falls into that afterall. But we are playing osu and skinning is based on stealing bg images/anime images, so talking about that is kinda weird. I wouldnt think about if its theft or not, just say its mixed.Spagyrie wrote:

So to answer that question, i'll say that the answer is kinda yes. But i wouldn't say this is theft, that's a big word, perhaps more something closer to copyright infringement since your friend claims that everything in the skin became HIS creation at 100% (which is not, if he mixed some skins together).
But in the other hand, he had the idea of mixing different skin or changing a few thing in it, which create a new skin, which is his idea. In the end, i think your friend should rename it to highlight the fact that the skin is a mix made by him or a slightly altered version of the original skin, and not his own idea created from A to Z.
And if your friend made some minor edit on it... Well, it will really become copyright infringement (don't steal the idea of other people. It's bad).
But to be honest, i don't really think that will matter a lot, unless this same friend start claiming everywhere that the original skin is his idea.
And asking this kind of question is, in the end, a bit a very serious one for just a game where we click circle and have fun.
