Putting something on a website is most certainly not "Personal" use in any legal system i know of.

Back in May 2004 [[User:ChrisDJackson]], who appears to be inactive on Wikipedia at the moment, uploaded [[Image:Bushlogo.jpg]], but provided no information about its source or its use status. Assuming it came from http://www.georgewbush.com/ then it would fall under the sites copyright terms which are http://www.georgewbush.com/copyright.aspx

Now, Wikipedia is certainly noncommercial, but these copyright terms bring up another larger question, is Wikipedia "personal"?
Should we continue to use this image, or other images protected for "personal" use? What's the US law in this area, do laws of other nations also apply because Wikipedia is an internet site? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
