How to publish wallpapers on OVI

[krayon]

Hi,

Can any one please help me with uploading of wallpapers on OVI store.
I have a publisher's account but that only allows me to upload flash/symbian/java applications only.

Please help.

No chance. You are not a premium publisher.

After all, Nokia can't afford to piss off the big crapware publishers, gnomesayin

OVI publishing site only allows uploading .deb files for MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan, and uploading plain jpg files (as wallpapers) are not enabled for normal publishers.

This has no basis at all: I want to upload some of my photography to OVI store for use as wallpapers for N9.
I have spent months perfecting my pictures and now it seems it is impossible to publish them. Could you please consider updating your rules because this makes no sense at all.
There can absolutely be no media company that could own the pictures taken by myself of my cat!

That's not the point. Nokia's rules are/were to prevent Nokia from ending up in trouble (sued), if a publisher uploads and sells someone else's pictures as their own (without permission).

I'm not sure if this policy is still in effect or not.

Unfortunately, this policy still stands.

What makes the difference then between putting illegal wallpaper into your own created theme and simply putting this wallpaper as single item on the OVI Store?

[petrib]

Nothing. At least in the past, the same "premium publisher" rules applied to publishing wallpaper, themes as well as ringtones; that is, you need to be a premium publisher, which means you must buy copyright insurance.

Has the rules/policy changed so that now you can publish themes as a regular company or individual publisher, but still not wallpapers?
