The copyright text will appear on any picture you use for it, it's built into the game that way. I looked at it the same as changing any of the other thing that we can within this game for personal taste, sounds, gun sites, etc. Not to mention what you can do to the game offline. Heck, Croduh turned it into Star Trek. Anyone remember that? So I don't see changing your personal startup screen as an issue. Maybe if someone at HTC reads this, they'll comment. I've actually been doing this for people for a few years now.
