Commons can’t accept work created by or based on the work of others – including photographs of it. By default, you can’t upload someone else’s work. This usually includes material such as:
- logoer
- CD/DVD covers
- promotional photos
- screenshots of TV shows, movies, DVDs, and software
- drawings of characters from comics, TV, or movies – even if you drew them
- most pictures published on the internet
- photos of you not taken by you (the copyright holder is the person who took the photograph unless it is a formal work for hire)
However, there are some exceptions
