That is to say it is NOT against copyright rules to use the USA pictures in Wikipedia. But Wikipedia desires to keep everything completely "strings free" so that stuff copied off of Wikipedia can never involve Wikipedia in lawsuits due to improper usage by a 3rd party. Also Wikipedia leans heavily toward "open source" activism, but the legal side only. That is USA pictures do have some restrictions including that they can not ever be sold. Pictures with no restrictions can be sold to idiots foolish enough to pay without legal impact.[[Special:Contributions/65.26.139.168|65.26.139.168]] ([[User talk:65.26.139.168|talk]]) 04:15, 12 February 2010 (UTC) |

Revision as of 04:15, 12 February 2010
Edited out the 'alcoholic' part. Bruce Campbell has said he doesn't see the character as an alcoholic in an interview with NPR, and while a constant drinker, Sam is never shown as drunk. More than likely he takes his time in between drinks for the alcohol to be absorbed, which of course isn't shown in the show. -Anonymous
I'll rewrite this section to avoid copyright infringement.
As for the image, I'm not sure I understand why it's against copyright rules. Aren't images on the USA Network site free to all as promotional images? Ytoabn 16:07, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
