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.camera-wiki.org/wiki/Camera-wiki.org:Copyrights --Shadesofgrey 18:34, 21 September 2006 (EDT)
- It is more or less what I'm thinking. (By the way, it's me who wrote the last version of Camera-wiki.org:Copyrights ;) ) But the Wikipedians apparenly decided something else (see Wikipedia's Leica M8 page and Wikipedia's image page), for dubious "fair use" reasons. I was wondering if the picture was part of some press kit distributed by Leica with explicit re-use consent. 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. Of course, I might be wrong. --Rebollo fr 19:11, 21 September 2006 (EDT)
- I think you are right. Let me find a copy of the press release or kit. --Shadesofgrey 19:31, 21 September 2006 (EDT)
