That is highly illegal unless you got conset from Microsoft and Bungie, which I doubt.

I have tried to get in contact with bungie several times, they did not respond to me. I assumed they wouldn't care or bother to do anything because I am just selling them on eBay, I just sent a letter to them today, so if they say no you can't I will take down the auctions.

Just because they didn't respond to your letters and emails asking their permission doesn't mean you have permission. It is copyrighted material, and re-producing it, especially for profit is illegal.

I'm afraid that Sketch_ is absolutely right. The RvB guys had to. You have to talk straight to Microsoft rather than Bungie.

Im not so sure you should be selling pictures that you dont own the rights for.

And just to add....that isnt the largest Halo or Halo2 poster I have seen ( which you claim on ebay) I personally have made them up to 48" x 36" , printed by myself on high quality paper with a hp designjet banner printer ( a small perk to my job) The posters, obviously, consist of images downloaded off bungie.net, but its not like im selling them to anyone...They are strictly for personal use on my walls :)

The Desert Brigade wide picture is by far my favorite :)

Did the RvB guys get consent though? I don't see posters on thier website. I don't know how to talk to Microsoft, they just direct me through all this crap, but I sent a letter to Bungie, so maybe they will re-direct it or something. I don't know why they would bother me, since I am not doing this on a large scale, and what do they care if I sell halo posters or not? There are lots of others on ebay that I know that have been selling the posters for I think a year now, they sells lots and I asked them if they had gotten any trouble and they said no.

The RvsB guys did get concent from microsoft. If you watch the first season in the begaining of it there is no leagl junk, but after ep.7 or so there is copyrights and crap.

It's because you're making a profit from their work. You're right, they probably wouldn't care. But legally you have to have permission.
