| Oct 31 at 9:07 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | We clearly have a different definition of "copyright matters". If user A in their post links to an image they are hosting (possibly they hold copyright to the image, possibly they have permission, or possibly they are breaking copyright laws, we don't know which one applies), then user B does not have the right to re-upload it onto another website and re-release it with a CC license. | |
| Oct 31 at 9:04 | comment | added | avpaderno | That is different from copyright matters. | |
| Oct 31 at 9:03 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | The user may hold the rights to that image, but not be willing to release it under a CC license. | |
| Oct 31 at 8:37 | comment | added | avpaderno | "[T]here is a question from a new user, who links to an image that he is hosting on his site." If that user does not have any copyright rights, he cannot even provide a link to the image. and could not even host the image on his site. | |
| Oct 31 at 8:13 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | This has been discussed on [meta.MO] in 2024; one of the answers rightfully warns about copyright issues: you cannot republish images you do not have copyright to. So I don't agree with "I don't see anything wrong"; this might be a copyright minefield. | |
