And my answers still the same, de does not allow copyrighted material on wiki. Be aware though that copyright in Germany is different, the threshold of originality is much higher, and somethings that qualify for copyright in the US can get only trademark protection in germany. (the star wars logo being a prominent example as of late. Text on a black background is not original enough to get copyright protection in Germany, but Lucasfilm still gets itself a trademark).

Hi Brock - I was thinking about content allowable under:
http://www.wipo.int/clea/docs_new/en/eu/eu049en.html (Ch II, Article 5 - Exceptions and limitations)
http://www.wipo.int/clea/docs_new/en/de/de080en.html (Chapter VI: Limitations on Copyright)
Thanks
