Use of copyrighted image

Hi I like your user box here, but you need to find a new image to put in the ID section. Your use of the Zune logo, which is copyrighted, is actually illegal under US Copyright law since its use in a user box or on a user page does not meet the requirements of "fair use" under that law. Please see Wikipedia:Logos and Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria as well as Wikipedia:User_page#Images_on_user_pages where is clearly states: "Do not include non-free images (copyrighted images lacking a free content license) on your user page or on any subpage thereof (this is official policy and the usual wide user page latitude does not apply, see Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria for details). Non-free images found on a user page (including user talk pages) will be removed (preferably by replacing it with a link to the image) from that page without warning (and, if not used in a Wikipedia article, deleted entirely)."

Since if you put the copyrighted logo back in the user box it will be removed again, I would suggest you either create your own logo, different from the official one and upload it as a free image or just use lettering instead. - Ahunt (talk) 12:36, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
