Copyright
What copyright/license is hrwiki under [the bottom of the page says by-nc-sa, is that correct]? It includes so much copyirghted content (pictures, transcripts, etc) I can't imagine this site can legaly use so much copyrighted material (fair use goes only so far). Have the Brothers Chaps commented on this site (have they given you permission?). BrokenSegue 19:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- TBC have commented on the site. See here. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 20:01, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- I was going to mention that, as an example at least of their opinion of the site, thought it doesn't have any bearing on copyright questions. See HRWiki:General disclaimer for our take on that. For an example of how we draw the line on what's not fair use, see Talk:More Fan Costumes#Pictures. At first we were including screenshots of each slide, until the 9th comment brought up the fact that it was copyright violation, at which point we removed them. —AbdiViklas 20:20, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- Copyright policies seem too lax here. Where My Hat Is At? is a copy of an entire book screen by screen! The Chaps would have an easy time destroying this site in court (if they wanted to). Perhaps you could coax the chaps to release all of their content uner a non-commercial license. That way they can still make money of it and you are free to archive it. Just some thoughts.

- Yeah, we've discussed pages like Where My Hat Is At? before... But it seems to have fallen by the wayside. This is a good alert to bring it back to the public eye. --DorianGray
- Yes, that discussion had kind of tapered off, which is why I'm glad you brought it up, BrokenSegue, because I've taken this opportunity to remove all the images on pages that completely reproduce H*R content in its original form (things no longer accessible, like the weekly sketchbook, do not fall in this category); namely, I fixed, Original Book, Where My Hat Is At?, Fan Costume Commentary, and More Fan Costumes. — It's dot com 05:52, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
- What about Museum Sketchbook? — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 05:58, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
- You're right; there are actually two sections in the museum that need attention: the one you mention and Fan Stuff. I'm going to let the dust settle from my most recent actions before I tackle those. In the meantime, feel free to take it on yourself, should you so desire. — It's dot com 06:02, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
- And I'll also bring up the Strumstar Hammer page again, which not only needs to be not-fair-use-images-purged (there needs to be a better term), but just re-added to the kids' book page, as it is an Easter egg from there. --DorianGray

What about text? The transcripts of the epsidoees surely are copyrighted. How can you claim fairuse when you are repdocuing the whole thing (with sometimes minimal commentary). Yes, you have too many pictures but the text seems to be just as bad . No? BrokenSegue 21:54, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
