This is an AP photo, should we even be posting these?--Matt Tegen 22:23, 9 January 2007 (CST)

You probably need to ask the uploader where he got the image. --Ric 00:01, 10 January 2007 (CST)

I know where he got the image. You can type in "Lewis Rahman" in google images and find the image. The users need to start giving that image when they upload them. I'm not sure if we are even at risk of getting in trouble for violoating copyrights.--Matt Tegen 10:38, 10 January 2007 (CST)

"Safe Harbor" Copyright Protection

Check out this article on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s "Safe Harbor for Online Service Providers" provision:

• The service provider must not be aware of any infringing material, and in the event that it becomes aware, it must expeditiously act to remove or disable access to the infringing material.
• The service provider must not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, in a case in which the service provider has the right and ability to control such activity.
• On notification of a claimed infringement (given in the manner specified in the act), the service provider must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the claimed infringing material. An agent to receive such notices must be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.
• The service provider must implement a policy for terminating repeat infringers.

I think we are OK on these grounds. We mmay want to have our own specific, explicit policy (#4) for our Wiki here. So far, we use whatever the main Wiki specifies. --Ric 11:00, 10 January 2007 (CST)
