Uploading pictures

Hi JQ

How can you upload pictures without violating copyrights?

Difficult question - my view is that if I own a particular video then I have the right to publish pictures from it, and in the case of web site pictures, these are already in the public domain. I take the line that WrestleWiki is encouraging sales for video production companies by exposing them and their products to an audience who may not already be aware of them. The only exception to this is where I've obtained a photo from another collector in which case I've normally contacted them first, and have then inserted an acknowledgment on the relevant page - see for example LGIS (Old) [[1]].

So that means I can use pictures on websites that are in galleries beside the video but no screenshots from the video itself?

Sorry - I could have expressed that more clearly! What I am saying is that, assuming you own the video in the first place, as far as I'm concerned there is no reason not to acquire and post screenshots. If you are giving identification of the pictures via the relevant WrestleWiki page (and captions if needed) then as I said before you're actually assisting the production company by publicising their work. Website gallery pictures are in the public domain already, but again using them in WrestleWiki is legitimate as you're not seeking to gain anything at the expense of the creators from doing so.
