And also, there's gotta be a photoshop thing that will put a BMP through some transform that pushes every pixel a lil to the left or right.
The guy below got away with this (basically just porting Mario to Java, with a few fanboy add-ons)

Anyway, one of the guys above is correct when they say this is a fair use issue, I'm just saying that if yer clever, you can usually get around it.
DJ's (the ones that aren't like.... The biggest in the world) make their living off of saying pineapple copyright. And... Yeah... That's about it.
So my advice is palette swap the images, and then alter them enough so that you can really say that they are no longer connected to Nexon/wizets stuff...
But again the main point is that if this game is released for free, and is only using some maple backgrounds as a template
Nexon prolly wont have time to try to "deal with you".
This is a sticky subject that deals with the finer points of the law, but yer not on the top of their to do list if you will.
(Because there are numerous sites that simply blatantly copy the entire code of Maplestory, a much more egregious offense
than what this guy is purporting to do).
So basically I could give every image a mustache.
