but... "fair use" copyright images are not allowed on user pages and the one you have chosen had to be removed. Sorry. ЯEDVERS 19:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Declaring copyrighted stills from a movie to be PD-self doesn't actually make them public domain or your own work. They remain the copyright of the distributor of the work in question. The only images you can use on Wikipedia userpages are images that have no copyright attached to them in the first place - public domain or copyright-released images where the original copyright holder her/himself has released the copyright. Sorry. ЯEDVERS 21:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Well actually I did modified this photo with Photoshop ClockworkOrange 15:39, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Copyright images altered by others don't become free of copyright and don't gain the copyright of the alterer (although the alterations do attract such copyright... but can't be used without permission of the original copyright holder). Copyright is a subject that many people on Wikipedia find difficult, but it's really quite simple. The full policy is at WP:COPYRIGHT, but, in a nutshell, the policy is "don't use work created by others without having full permission". Happy editing! ЯEDVERS 21:44, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
