Copyright?? HELP??
Is it allowed to use the photos of wikipeida for an assignment? They say the copyright of the Crown, but if I substituted a reference to the rear of the presentation be permissible. I'm not benifiting financally. Http: / / en.wikipedia.org / wiki / File: Vickers_Wellington.jpg
fair use doctrine says that you can use part of a work for use in school as long as you cite. So you can not simply copy everything, or claim, it is your own work, but if you follow the rules it is legal. In addition, as a matter of fact, Wikipedia has its own fair use policy specific: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fair_use Edit: I went to see the page in question. It clearly indicates that the photo is public. This means you can use it freely.
