Revision as of 23:31, 21 September 2006
Pïcture allowed ?
Is the use of this picture allowed? I think it is part of the press kit released by Leica, but I would like to be sure that we are allowed to reproduce it here. --Rebollo fr 17:46, 21 September 2006 (EDT)
No, the image is copyright. You would have to ask for Leica's permission to use it here. See, http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Camerapedia.org:Copyrights --Shadesofgrey 18:34, 21 September 2006 (EDT)
- It is more or less what I'm thinking.

For example, I'm not sure that sites like dpreview (see their preview) and the zillion clones actually ask Leica the permission to post the image, and I think that they download specially licensed pictures, allowed for press use by the company.
