Is Wikimedia bound by local laws regarding images? Eg. if the place
where the photo was taken says I'm not allowed to take a photo, or that
the thing I'm taking a photo of is copyrighted, is the photo allowed to
go on Commons?

Oh, and on a related note: If something vaguely looks like something
which someone else has claimed is trademarked, is it? Does that make the
image "unfree"?
