I appreciate the feedback. I think I've figured out a way to make this work, and I've already written up the development tickets for it.
The idea is to let users add their own player images and team logos, with everything stored locally in their browser. Nothing gets uploaded to ActionSims servers, and there won't be any shared image library. Whatever images you add will only show up in the browser where you added them.
There are a couple of drawbacks. If you clear your browser storage, you could lose your images, and they won't automatically carry over to another computer or browser. But I've accounted for that by including an option to export everything to a backup file and import it again whenever you need to.
I think this is a pretty good compromise. People can customize their games with their own images, and this feature won't require ActionSims to host or distribute any of those uploads. It doesn't eliminate every possible legal concern, but I think it avoids some of the bigger ones.
None of this has been built yet, but the tickets are ready. I think this is probably the best way to handle it.
