You have deleted the above page, under 'blatant copyright ingringement', yet the data was taken from a press release, the sole purpose of which is to provide information to journalists/writers for publication free from copyright.

Press releases are copyrighted just as much as any other text. Feel free to rewrite it in your own words. Stifle (talk) 19:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Interesting, are you able to point me in the direction of one case of copyright infringement relating to a press release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peteclapp (talk • contribs) 19:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't know. All I know is that content on Wikipedia must be available under the GFDL, and that press release wasn't. Stifle (talk) 19:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, not all content in Wikipedia has to be under the GFDL terms. Photos, logos, screenshots, and even fair use of copyright material is allowed from time to time... as shown in Wikipedia:Copyrights#Using copyrighted work from others and Wikipedia:Non-free content. As an administrator, Stifle should know that.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:31, 16 May 2008 (UTC)--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Correct. I should have said "text" rather than "content". The point of my message remains unchanged. Stifle (talk) 21:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
