You retain any and all of your rights to any Content you submit, post or display on or through the Service and you are responsible for protecting those rights.

Copyright Policy / Images
We respect the intellectual property rights of others. It is our policy to respond to any claim that Content posted on the Service infringes the copyright or other intellectual property infringement (“Infringement”) of any person. We presents both public domain and copyright protected artworks according with fair use rules:

  • as historically significant artworks
  • as used for informational and educational purposes
  • as readily available on the internet
  • as low resolution copies unsuitable for commercial use
 We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement and remove copyright protected artworks, or block them for users from countries where infringement is alerted. But mostly we try to get artists’ permission to demonstrate their art, and confirm it with a credit line.
 
If you are a copyright owner, or authorized on behalf of one, and you believe that the copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement that is taking place through the Service, you must submit your notice in writing to the attention of “Copyright Infringement” of wikipaintings@gmail.com and include in your notice a detailed description of the alleged Infringement.
 
You may be held accountable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) for misrepresenting that any Content is infringing your copyright.
When possible, we use images of artworks and writings that are in the public domain.
This means the intellectual property rights have expired or are not applicable. Usually the artworks are in public domain in the country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author’s life plus 70 years or less.
 
We allow unlimited copying, distributing and displaying of the images of public domain artworks. Please note that artworks protected by copyright are supposed to be used only for contemplation, they are prohibited for copying, printing, or reproducing.
 
For a more detailed breakdown of when works enter the Public Domain in which countries, we use Peter Hirtle’s chart: Copyright Term and the Public Domain in the United States — 1 January 2015 from the Cornell Copyright Information Center.
We are looking at Open Culture and Wikimedia Commons, a media file repository making available public domain and freely licensed educational media content, and some “Institutional Open Content”, as many museums are selecting part of their archive and transferring images to the public domain, making them available for free for any use, commercial or non-commercial.
 
Many thanks to these organizations that are joining the Open Content movement!
