If I may..."This image may or may not be protected by copyright." So, no. --Larry Sanger 14:58, 16 February 2007 (CST)
Yes, you may, and it's the response I sort of expected. Obviously, the language I used was copied from Wikipedia. My opinion for the moment is, this image is not copyrighted, and I will make an effort in the next couple of days to confirm this.
Here's a messier case, however: Image:Elvis_30hits.jpg. On Wikipedia, it has a tag that says, "It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of such covers * solely to illustrate the audio recording in question, * on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law." Well, maybe. If you asked my opinion, I would say that it's copyrighted, and I would remove this image from the Elvis article. (It's not especially pertinent to the story of Elvis' life anyway.) What's your informed opinion? Robert Broughton 21:17, 16 February 2007 (CST)
How's this one? Image:Elvisstamp.jpg Robert Broughton 21:41, 16 February 2007 (CST)
