Needs Help: Useful Notes.Gold

The current image is clearly copyrighted.

Naturally, given the subject there are literally zillions of alternative pics to choose from. So what would people like to see? Ore? Dust? Bars? Coins? Gold-plated nintendos?

The pic's yanked and the page is tagged. Something similar to the old pic would be fine with me.

I think the image in [1]◊ with the caption "Not an iPhone cover" could be funny.

Is copyrighted really an issue when we use screenshots from various media or comic panels for so many things?

I would think using images here falls under fair use the same way reviews or educational materials do since it's a wiki for analyzing media.

About Images and Copyright

"Fair use" is a defense that protects transformed work, or parts of a work (also called "excerpts") being used for specific and particular purposes. As described on the Administrivia page linked in this comment, if the image shows the copyright mark and there isn't more of that image, then that image is the whole work. Ergo, not "fair use."

One frame (a screenshot) of even a ten-second video is less than half of one percent of the work. I think we tend to use too big a portion (up to 50%... and the "substantiality" is also supposed to be considered) of comics to qualify as Fair Use, but whatever.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way when there's also defense against reproducing for criticism (ie: why Channel Awesome is allowed to be a thing despite showing large portions of the movies reviewed) and parody.

Also stuff for educational purposes.

To qualify for Fair Use, the usage is supposed to conform to all four of the considerations, so both purpose (educational, parody, criticism, comment, etc) and amount, plus two others. (CA uses relatively small excerpts, maybe 5min of footage from a 90min+ movie... that's not a "large portion".) You are mistaken about how it works.

On topic, best way to avoid that then might be a screenshot from something featuring gold coins or bars or something prominent in frame.

I'm drawing a blank on what to Google for though because it's such a general thing I can't think of a specific example.

I kind of like [1]◊, because of its variety. Also [2]◊ [3]◊ [4]◊ for similarity to old image.

I like #2 because the labeled bar is a clear centerpiece of the image.

10.2 > 10.1 > 10.3 > 10.4

I'll go with 10.2.

10.2

Clock is set. As of right now we've got 4 votes for 10.2...crowner?

10.2

A few work, including 10.2.

The clock's and it looks like we've got enough consensus for 10.2, so let's roll with it.

EDIT: It's added and the tag's adjusted; locking up.
