Can't you use Apple's picture? http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/red/

isnt that under copyright?

chabig · Nov 3, 2006, 03:36 PM

Probably. But can't you link to it without copying it?

Yeah, but you can't guarantee that it will always be there. An original picture hosted locally would be better.

Those are for promotional use, aren't they?

imitchellg5 · Nov 3, 2006, 06:50 PM

You can use them if you want. Just put "Copyright Apple Computer, Inc.©."

all of the iPod range on Wikipedia is people's own piccies which most have put under GNU Free Public licence.

On the cautious side, on wikipedia it sates that for "Promotional material, Fair use on Wikipedia only applies if it is not possible to replace such promotional image with a free image"

if you see here, the iPod red image currently loaded, the image will probably be deleted. But here, its highly unlikely that anyone would let someone snap their credit card, and also may not be as common to have, comparitively.

If you're interested you can check out the wikipedia policy on copyrights here, and some of the tags they have for images.

thanks a lot lads... but if anyone has an piccie,

waaaaheyeeeeeeeeeee .

fanks!

Go to the apple store hold on and take a pic of your hand holding it, or it lying on a table so you can't tell where it is.

You can put what you want on your site, but I think you still need written premission from Apple to use their copyright image.

I think you can safely use any of the PR media that apple provides on it's PR site:

If someone wants to buy me a red Nano I'll happily take pictures of it and post them here.

P.S. Check Flickr, find a pic you like, and then talk to the person who took the picture and see if they'll liscence it under GPL and let you use it.

You can do a Flickr search for photos that have been licensed under the Creative Commons License:

Flickr: Search

Then just find one that doesn't have the 'non-commercial' clause in the license (images licensed with this clause won't be accepted on Wikipedia).

For instance, this picture is pretty good, and is licensed under the Attribution 2.0 license.

That means that you can upload it on Wikipedia, as long as you're sure to use this image copyright template, and provide an attribution to the creator of the photo.
