Welcome to the lesson discussing
Copyright. It's one of the most important lessons I teach, because not adhering to it can lead to a ban from Knowledge. I'm hoping to take you back to basics and will be focusing on images. However, a lot of the same concepts apply to other media files and even text

be a free equivalent - anyone can take a picture of Nicole. The album cover on the other hand is unique - there's no free equivalent. It's discussed in the article too, so showing it will be useful in context (#8). The copy we show should be shrunk, so that it can't be used to create pirate copies
457:- "No free equivalent" means that you will never be able to license text under it (except for quoting) - as you can re-write it in your own words to create an equivalent. You always, always, always have to write things in your own words or make it VERY clear that you are not. Got it? Good.

allowable, because no matter where or how they display their logo, it'll be under the same copyright. Since the simple art of scanning or taking a picture of a piece of work is not enough to justify my ownership of the rights to the image, there is no way to obtain a free version of the

from a marketing kit they distributed. This image would likely be copyrighted, and so they claim fair use. But I happen to have been to New York and have a picture of the ESB. I upload that instead and release it into the public domain. The first, copyrighted picture, is also
364:. Now, the photographer holds the copyright to that particular picture of the hilarious man. I can claim fair use, but the claim would be invalid because you could just as easily go to a performance Izzard is giving and take a picture of him yourself. (That's what happened

In practise, if it comes out of your head - is entirely your own work, you have the right to make that release. If you got it from somewhere else, you don't. That doesn't mean it can't be used though. You can in these situations
421:
So you think you've got your head around copyright and how it applies to images? Well done. Let's see how it applies to text. All the principles are the same - you can only include text which has been released under
215:. You can read the actual text under those links, but the gist is that you agree that everything you write on the encyclopedia can be shared, adapted or even sold and all you get in return is attribution.
443:
409:, a repository of free material. Images on Commons can be linked directly to wikipedia, like that picture just to the right and above. Now, since commons is a free repository,
256:. Free images can be used in any article where their presence would add value. As long as there is a consensus among the editors working on an article that the

Ok, now if I use a term that's not in the glossary and I don't explain, feel free to slap me. Are you ready for this? Ok. Take a deep breath. You can do it.
336:
It's a lot, isn't it! Well, let's have a look at the non free stuff. I'm going to suggest two different images. One, a tabloid picture of celebrity actress

Creative
Commons is an organisation that provides licensing information aimed at achieving a mutual sharing and flexible approach to copyright.
388:
116:
465:
This is a very complex topic, is there anything you don't understand? Now's a great time to ask about those weird situations.
330:
The image page must attribute the source, explain the fair use for each article it is used and display the correct tag
324:
Must be useful in context. This is a sticking point, if it's not actually adding to the article, it shouldn't be used.
230:
44:
There are a lot of terms associated with copyright. If you are having trouble with any, here's a quick reference.
21:
58:
413:. It makes sense to upload free images to commons, so that they can be used by all language encyclopedias.
260:, it's safe to say that it can remain in an article. Free images can even be modified and used elsewhere.
136:
384:

365:
446:. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license.

So you are in effect contributing every time you edit. Now, let's think about that

A new work created as a combination of other works, which may be derivative works.

A work which is derived from another work. (Eg a photograph of a painting)

When people refer to
Commons on wikipedia, they're generally referring to
161:
The terms under which the copyright owner allows his/her work to be used.
426:. In fact, if you notice, every time you click edit, it says right there
126:
321:
Must be used. (we can't upload something under fair use and not use it)
156:
387:, I want to upload an image of their logo (visible in no great detail

Works that either cannot be copyrighted or the copyright has expired

We must ensure that the owner will not lose out by us using the work
36:
