Now wait up, Czech, I understand that you think the discussion is over but the way me and Cult see it this is just the start. What we hvae so far is:


 * Posting images from DiT would be within American fair-use policies
 * DWM has, in the past, posted images from DiT and there has been no copyright issue.
 * There are high quality copies of DiT
 * The only issue with us posting images of it here would be that the copyright is tricky to identify.

Thus, the way I see it, this discussion has just started and the next step is to try and identify the copyright; and there's a way to do it, I know. You can't just close down the thread because you don't think it's going anywhere. If anything, the page should be highlighted and spread to other users. True, we're on a seperate point on DiT then we were when it started, but if that's the case then what needs to be done is a second discussion needs to be started, not closing off the still-debating conversation that's hitting on some key points because they. I must directly ask that you either do not close this discussion down or you let us move the discussion of the images from the episode to a new thread.

On that note, what you said above would make a sufice copyright notice. Something like


 * This is a snapshot from Dimensions in Time, a story which was only legally aired on TV once, and is not officially currently licensed by either the BBC or Children in Need; while still not being within the public domain.
 * Despite this, the special being transmitted once means that it still falls within fair-use policies of the United States [And I guess other countries? /:(] and is thus legally acceptable to use on this wiki.

There: A valid copyright tag. And because it's only for this one episode, we don't necessarily have to keep it on the copyright list on the image uploader, thus it's very unlikely that someone will be able to use this by accident.

In my eyes, if we do this it would be okay to upload the images. And I do hope that you don't just shut down the discussion after I asked you not to.
