Borrowing pictures for my boxing web

Post by Miguel_Fernandez »

Hi, guys!

My name is Miguel and I'm behind www.dieciseiscuerdas.com, a young boxing web whose effort is bringing boxing and legends to unknown and/or recently interested people. I'd like to borrow some pictures of yours to complete some of my biographies. Can I?

Thank you very much in advance!

Take care!

There is a disclaimer link on every BoxRec wiki page that leads to this text:
BoxRec does not claim any copyright to the images in its database, but for some rare exceptions (such as the BoxRec logo). As an Internet website, and under the "fair use" [1] and "safe harbor" [2] provisions of international copyright law, BoxRec may post these images, even if someone owns the copyright to a particular image--until that copyright owner tells BoxRec to take down the image.

It is the intent of BoxRec to serve as a free, non-profit, on-line public repository of these images--primarily for preservation, educational, and scholarly purposes.

Therefore, permission to use images that BoxRec does not explicitly claim a copyright is not necessary. However, further use of any image is at your own peril. (See also: When U.S. Works Pass into the Public Domain: [3]; Smithsonian Images: [4])
Some sites credit BoxRec for images found in its database that they use.

Hope this helps.

BTW: Here are two of my favorite BoxRec image sites:
1) Gallery: https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Cate ... to_Gallery
2. Recently-uploaded images to the wiki: https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Special:NewFiles
