When it is okay to use copyrighted material

Reduced Lens is not Wikipedia, and is not subject to massive scrutiny over the material it can and cannot use. Copyrighted material is fine to use on the wiki, as long as common sense is applied when doing so. Please don't annoy people like Disney, or anyone else who is trigger-happy over lawsuits.

For example, if you're uploading an image of a scientific diagram of an eye, that's fine and also covered under fair use.

When it is NOT okay to use copyrighted material

Do not copy and paste entire websites and articles, please. This is not a website harvesting operation, we're a vision improvement encyclopedia. Please link to the original website and give proper credit.

Administrators have the right to remove anything copyrighted that seems to go too far.
