I'd like to open a discussion about non-free image use on Wikinews.
A constant issue for en.Wikinews has been the use of logos and press kit images which are not under a free license. For example, on the election of Pope Benedict the Roman Catholic church made many images available to the press through their website, but all are under a non-free license and cannot be uploaded to commons.wikimedia. There is now a single low-resolution graphic available on commons, more than two days after the news event broke, and a further four graphics which are up for deletion.
On en we have drawn up proposed policy for dealing with "Fair Use"-type images. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Policies_and_guidelines/Fair_use is a set of simple guidelines regarding Fair Use under U.S. law (where the Wikinews servers are), and is pretty blunt. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Policies_and_guidelines/ Image_use_policy is a set of guidelines for image use on Wikinews, including grants of license (which is when the copyright holder specifically allows Wikinews to use the image.)
It's my opinion Wikinews must develop a way to allow Fair Use images, while at the same time encouraging contributors to use their camera phones, digital cameras to provide freely-licensed graphics. The two are not incompatible.
Hi, some documents (in French for france- sorry)
* La CNIL(French Commission about Computer Science and Liberty - non official name translation) wrote articles related to la wiki community. (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNIL)
* (About usage of People pictures) L’utilisation de l’image des personnes (http://www.cnil.fr/index.php?id=1790) * (The Press Agent : a less contraigned law in order to respect Liberty of Press ) : Le correspondant presse : un régime dérogatoire pour tenir compte de la liberté de la presse (http://www.cnil.fr/index.php?id=1796)
The following link is for alumni (school) but have links to official laws and sources : http://www.presse.ac-versailles.fr/ you'll find into ethique link : the journalist charte (Code of conduct)
hope this help, even if it's for the France case.
