I know MM are against allowing the users to create custom stickers, but given its already possible using the PS Eye, wht not just let us import a suitable common graphic image file. (PNG maybe as it already allows Alpha) The reasons i've heard are to do with copyright, but that doesn't hold up with the inclusion of the PS Eye stickers. you can just as easily take a photo of the copyrighted image with that. Yes, using copyright materials without permission is wrong, but... thats what the Report function is for. Please, if anyone from MM is reading this, I'm sure I'm not the ONLY creator wanting this feature.

Too bad, they can't add it. Your levels can get moderated for copyrighting using PSeye, where have you heard they don't?

SONY/ Mm isn't responsible what users upload with PSEYE, as its considered made by the user-generated content, which doesn't break copyright laws, which is how people are now able to make levels of copyrighted material without getting into trouble or having all those levels moderated, Images taken online or directly from the source ARE considered copyrighted, and SONY/ Mm are reponsible for those if you can upload them to their games. In short: PSEYE = User-generated Content = Not breaking law. Direct upload = Copyright can work = Not allowed.

PSEYE = User-generated Content = Not breaking law. Direct upload = Copyright can work = Not allowed. Actually they'd both count as "user-generated content" according to the ToC defintions, and they're both copyright violations, although they might be able to claim fair use (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use) in either case.

In short: PSEYE = User-generated Content = Not breaking law. Direct upload = Copyright can work = Not allowed. This makes no sense. What's the difference between using the "actual image" and taking a picture of the "actual image"? I agree with OP and in a related note, why can't we do this with audio files as well? Limiting creators to horribly recorded voice overs from the PSEye or a crappy headset baffles me. You guys may claim it's a copyright issue, but someone could just as easily put their headset up to their speakers and record anything.

I think Sony would rather have someone violate copyrights with the P$ Eye than the PS3 itself.

I think Sony would rather have someone violate copyrights with the P$ Eye than the PS3 itself. Frankly, I doubt Sony care either way. If you could import any picture you liked with perfect clarity, how would they ever sell any DLC sticker packs?

I'm still upset since they had promised us this capability back in marketing of LBP1. =/ Aya042 has a good point though, the big reason behind it is most likely an issue over money as far as dlc goes rather than anything else.

People speculated this from an image that someone found, if I'm not mistaken, it was never promised.

I remember specifically it being said by, I believe it was Alex in an old Demonstration back in the day. If I can find it again I'll let you know. Found it. About 4 minutes in, he specifically says 'can import from his hard drive' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NI5JmcQv3n4 I remember well because it was this that really got me excited for the game because I had planned to showcase my work and make entire levels using it. And was verily disappointed when I got the game and that feature didn't exist.
