Line 26:
I am seeking permission to use [[Friday the 13th|this picture]] of yours for the page image of the trope, [[Villain Decay]]. If this is alright, please respond to the email or [https://allthetropes.org/w/index.php?title{{=}}Special:WikiForum&forum{{=}}4 comment in the discussion here]. If you wish us to not use your image, it will be changed, if you give permission but want a specific link please respond.

* Original art (from [[DeviantArt]], [[Flickr]], etc.) may be licensed under Creative Commons, GNU Free Documentation, or another similar "re-use in particular circumstances is free" license. If you see that, go ahead and use the picture but be sure to follow the terms; for CC, especially follow BY (give the artist credit -- a link back to their website in the caption generally suffices and is a good thing to do anyway) and Remix (if it doesn't have this it means you aren't supposed to alter the image; ''not even resizing''). SA (share-alike) might or might not be covered by this wiki's CC license, depending on what other terms are present in the license. NC (non-commercial) is ''not''
* [[TV Tropes]] added NC to their CC license in 2012, which is why we can't use something copied from The Other Tropes Wiki after they changed their license to include it. If you really want to use an image on TV Tropes that was added after 2012, you'll have to find the original image and use it instead.
Speaking of TV Tropes, their version of this page as of the fork included the phrases "If an image has a little copyright stamp (©) on it, we can't use it" and "The same goes for watermarks of ownership". These statements are [[Artistic License: Law|Artistic License Law]] (of the type "'we didn't ''know'' it was copyrighted' is a legal defense"<ref>It isn't.</ref>) that bear no relation to actual copyright law. It is the opinion of All The Tropes that we have the same "fair dealing" and "fair use" rights that other encyclopedic wikis (such as Wikipedia) have to use limited excerpts from copyrighted works for the purpose of review and analysis, as long as we identify that we are using images under fair use. (This "encyclopedic" usage, by the way, is why we [[All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here|come down hard]] on people who add false information to the wiki - allowing one feeble joke is not worth us needing to delete tens of thousands of images.)
Also, as per [[Special:WikiForum/Policy_request:_use_Public_Domain_or_Creative_Commons_licensed_images_wherever_we_have_the_option|this forum discussion]], All The Tropes prefers using Public Domain and Creative Commons licensed images when they exist. ''Please use copyrighted images only where there is no other alternative.''
