Image of book cover / WWIII Genre Project

I've made it a personal project to polish and expand the articles of the books in the WWIII genre, and have ran into trouble with the images due to the archaic copyright laws and wikipedias insane image policy. I've written to the publishers and authors (where applicable) of the WWIII books listed on the SEE ALSO part of this article, in order to confirm what peoples common sense should already have told them: NO AUTHOR CARES IF THE COVER IF THEIR BOOK IS ON AN ENCYCLOPEDIA PAGE.

Those disclaimers inside book jackets where they reserve all rights in every form were meant for the era in which these books were published, the 1980s, which is a totally diffrent universe to the one were in now.

When I get their permission I will be putting my own images back up.

I would urge the knee-jerk administrators on here to actually read the upload information this time before hysterically pulling the images.

Try going with the spirit of the law not it's letter, putting the book jacket on wikipedia is promotion of the book not copyright theft, the wikipedia policy in this area is even more insane and dated than the actual laws. At the very least they should wait until they have a complaint before pulling images, but what author in their right mind would have a problem with it? None.

I was under the impression that bookcover copyrights were owned by publishers, rather than authors? Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 23:33, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
