Possible copyvio - source says "It is strictly prohibited to upload pictures to Wikimedia Commons." MGA73 (talk) 20:46, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
The file is from www.bigfoto.com and the http://www.bigfoto.com/copyright.htm says "It is not permitted to copy bigfoto pictures onto a web site and offer them for downloading. It is strictly prohibited to upload pictures to Wikimedia Commons." The terms might have been differend in 2007. Can anybody remember?
Also see File:EUROMONEY.jpg and File:SmartiesUK.jpg. --MGA73 (talk) 20:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- The Internet Archive has archived a lot of old versions of the page. Here's the version of February 2, 2007 (two days before it was uploaded here). They didn't mention Commons back then. But their statements concerning usage on other websites are pretty contradicting. You can use their image on your website if you copy the image onto your own server, but you are not allowed to "copy bigfoto pictures onto a web site and offer them for downloading."!? Huh? --Kam Solusar (talk) 00:45, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you. You are right - the terms are pretty messy. If we should fulfill the terms we should at least try (disabling right click + write that it is forbidden to download the picture). And that does not sound like "good Commons spirit" to me. --MGA73 (talk) 09:29, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
