@Callofduty4: The screenshots that I create for the wiki are not made casually. I use VLC and carefully select exactly what screenshot I am going to make. This often requires slowing down through the steps of a particular scene, pause, go back, go forth, stop, take a screenshot, repeat the process at least three times taking three different screenshots, then use Photoshop to adjust sharpness, exposure, contrast. Then I select the best screenshot to use.

I already explained in my reply to @Ysbert that no one owns the license and copyright to any episode or scenes from an episode of a TV show except the production company that created the TV show. But today, fanvids exist because TV show production companies and networks understand that if there are fans that involved and so into a show, allowing fanvids to exist retains fans and grows the show's fan base. It's a pact with the devil because the fanvids are being made from either legally acquired episodes (purchased) or pirated episodes downloaded from torrent sites. In its first season, my TV show made the list of the top-ten pirated series on the web -- and the executive producer/production company owner mentioned it in interviews as if it were a badge of honor.

As @452 said, it would be polite for the persons raiding my wiki's image files to credit/acknowledge the wiki they got the files from. That's all. Just a simple act of courtesy and graciousness.
