Yes agree completely that we are dealing with an area of law that is currently undefined. All I am proposing is that we do what the rest of the publishing industry is doing. No more, no less. We do not need to be innovator in areas of copyright or in the area of patient consent. And yes I keep signed consent of all identifiable images I upload to Wikipedia (I have discussed this issue with my licensing authority and they are happy with this arrangement).
All the comments by this group are similar to those of the 10 of so lawyers I have spoken with. They all say that "if the images are copyrightable with no guarantee that they are, some combination of these 10 groups own the copyright" with each lawyer supporting one or a number of the different members of this group of 10. -- James Heilman MD, CCFP-EM, Wikipedian The Wikipedia Open Textbook of Medicine www.opentextbookofmedicine.com _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
