Please help, the Hungarian Wikipedia have an law problem with not free images. Near all book, music, movie etc. cover and poster, logos removed because of Foundation policy. (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy) Says "in accordance with United States law and the law of countries where the project content is predominantly accessed" Hungarian law don't grant using this kind images. (But not really banned.)
The first step is to help yourself.
Write a good article about copyright in Hungarian language.
http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerz%C5%91i_jog
Translate this article onto Hungarian Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_copyright_law
Write a good article about Hungarian copyright law, in both Hungarian and English languages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Copyright_law_by_country
Okey does anyone have a copy of Hungarian law?
You can nearly always find a link at [[w:en:List of countries' copyright length]]
http://www.wipo.int/clea/en/text_html.jsp?lang=en&id=2213
And the Hungarian language text for it is on Wikisource:
http://hu.wikisource.org/wiki/Szerz%C5%91i_jogi_t%C3%B6rv%C3%A9ny
(see also http://www.hpo.hu/jogforras/9976.html )
It would be useful if a free translation was created on English Wikisource; red link here:
http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Copyright_law#Hungary
Create Wikimedia Hungary and advocate changes to Hungarian copyright law.
