Something tells me that Mr. Colbert's lawyers might have an issue with this one. TheoryOfPractice (talk) 06:19, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

If they have an issue, they should see: this. Stanley Moon (talk) 06:35, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

The logo and the picture of Stephen Colbert are all copy-right images. Just because you have altered it a bit does not make it yours. - π 12:18, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
It's about the source material. Rather than CC, you can only release it as "fair use" and cite that webpage and Colbert's website as "source material". You can't go about releasing copyrighted material under a CC or GFDL license. This causes a massive fucking headache on DeviantART where some people put a ShareAlike license on their stock images and others don't, thus making them legally incompatible and for all practical purposes, impossible to use.

So, Stanley--the argument is, "yea, it might be dodgy, but someone else is doing it too, so it's okay." TheoryOfPractice (talk) 14:29, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
So, I added a decent FU rationale to it, but it's not working properly... Scarlet A.pngnarchist 14:34, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
I hope you mean a "Fair Use" rationale. Stanley Moon (talk) 00:46, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia has some things for still shots from movies or TV shows. That might apply here. Stanley Moon (talk) 22:47, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
