The mod sites can use copy written material in their version releases without consequences it would seem,
as 1 C is accountable and can be sued and it cannot use such material without the owners full permission
in official release versions.
It looks to me like VP Media or someone else has gone to the website where they are for sale
and copied the large pre-sale images to their computer, and put them up for installation as splash screens.
Not sure the owner is going to be too bothered or not.
