I see that lots of people loads images and give them

{{Copyrighted free use}}. The funny thing about it is, that in most
cases they are screenshots from TV, movies, movie posters, game
covers, etc. So maybe we should make a large cleanup of images in this
category, couse there can be tons of copyvios...
AJF/WarX
ps. why most copyvios is made by people talking in spanic langugage ?
If the status on enwiki is any clue the majority of those will be copyvios
yes... I suspect "free use" has a lot of people confused into thinking
that anyting they did not pay for can use that tag or something. It also
seems like a convenient dumping groupd for "I have permission to use this"
type images, pluss stuff from sites that allow
personal/educational/noncommercial use (I guess they figure if personal
use is allowed then the tag that says free use everywhere is allowed is
"close enough"). Then again I've seen people write "all rights
reserved"
in the upload summary and then slap the "no rights reserved" tag on it so
I suspect a lot of people are not even trying to get it right.
