Commons' users aim to build and maintain in good faith a repository of media files which to the best of our knowledge are free or freely-licensed. The precautionary principle is that where there is significant doubt about the freedom of a particular file, it should be deleted. |
|||
Also, arguments that amount to "we can get away with it", such as the following, are against Commons' aims: |
|||
"The copyright owner will not bother to sue or cannot afford to." |
|||
"The copyright owner will never find out." |
|||
"The copyright owner will not mind/should be pleased that we have disseminated their work." |
|||
"Nobody knows who the copyright owner is, so it really doesn’t matter." |
|||
"The file is obviously common property. It can be found all over the internet and nobody has complained." |
