Forum:Image copyrights - biography pictures

Maybe it's just me, but I've noticed that a lot of character bios which had really good clear images of the character before now feature blurred, fuzzy, unclear pictures instead. Some notable examples I've seen is Benjamin Sisko, Worf and Julian Bashir, although there are more. Is there some kinda legal thing going on that explains this or what? =P --Postbagboy 04:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't speak for all of the changes, but there is a debate going on as to whether publicity shots, which are often the source of the "clear" images, fall under Fair Use or not. I am of the opinion that they do not. In that case, a number of images are being replaced with screencaps. --OuroborosCobra talk |undefined  04:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah k I thought it had something to do with that. However, Bashir's previous image was a screencap and it was way better. =P Same with Quark's. Although Quark's new image is decent as well. --Postbagboy 04:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The previous Bashir image (prior to it being garishly brightened) was uncited and looked as though the good doctor was suffering from a hangover from a long night of drinking with O'Brien. If you can cite that image, though, feel free to revert it. --From Andoria with Love 04:31, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
