We were prevented from using the emblem on another section of the site. Therefore this should really be deleted accordingly. Fair Use would only apply under US law, and as we'd be most likely challenged by the UK government (and that we've had permission refused already) this would not reply.

The UK has a similar law, I think it's fair dealing (or is that Canada), secondly, since we're hosted in the US, US Law applies. -- Nx / talk 16:43, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
It has "fair dealing" but it's not the same. It covers accidental or unavoidable copyright infringements but isn't the same sort of legal defence or justification. Scarlet A.pngbomination 16:45, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Besides, we have been told previously not to use the portcullis. I'm not sure if the context applies equally, however. Scarlet A.pngbomination 16:54, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Well, that isn't fair use. This is totally fair use. -- Nx / talk 16:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Given that it is used in a comparison and not to represent something on the site I agree with Nx. Also as as US-hosted site their laws should apply just as they do with Wikipedia. Of course the British authorities may not like it but then it is up to them to actively take action (extradite Trent?) if they feel that they have a legitimate gripe.  Lily Inspirate me. 17:07, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
