You have been previously warned that this is against policy, but have persisted. <br /><br /> Please take this opportunity to be sure you understand our [[Wikipedia:Copyright|copyright policy]] and our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|policies regarding how to use non-free content]]. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may [[WP:Appealing a block|appeal this block]] by first reading the [[WP:Guide to appealing blocks|guide to appealing blocks]], then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: <!-- Copy the text as it appears on your page, not as it appears in this edit area.

: Addendum: This block is not infinite, just indefinite. Since you seem to be here mostly to add promotional information about bands, I'll assume you are an industry employee or contractor. Before you can be unblocked, you'll need to indicate some understanding of our policy on copyright violations and our image use policy. See [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations]] and [[Wikipedia:Image use policy]]. In short, you have repeatedly uploaded copyrighted images despite being told not to. --[[User:Laser_brain|<font color="purple">'''Laser brain'''</font>]] [[User_talk:Laser_brain|<font color="purple">(talk)</font>]] 13:37, 13 May 2016 (UTC) |

{{unblock reviewed | 1=Hello administrators, [[User:MER-C|MER-C]] in declining my unblock request asked that I elaborate on and demonstrate my understanding of the following in my own words. '''Why does copying stuff from outside websites harm Wikipedia?''' Copying copyrighted works (including images, sound or video recordings, literary works) from outside websites infringes on the the copyright of the works's right holder(s). As the whole of Wikipedia's content is licensed to the public at no cost, all material on the site must also be free of copyright restrictions, be properly licensed from the right holder, or there is a irrefutable case for fair use of the material. Uploading copyrighted material to Wikipedia without the appropriate grant of license from the right holder(s) opens Wikipedia up to liability. This makes Wikipedia vulnerable to right holders who can seek damages for infringement on their works. In order to keep Wikipedia free and functioning it is imperative that editors protect Wikipedia from this liability. '''When can you copy stuff from outside websites?''' There are some instances where material can be copied from outside websites, some of which were touched on above. The most common instances are material in the public domain (whether due to right holder(s) releasing the work or by the term of the copyright expiring) and by material licensed under creative commons. Additionally, a grant of a license for a work can be requested from the copyright holder. If the right holder grants an appropriate license the work could be copied from an outside website, provided the editor provides verification that the rights have been granted. It is always best to utilize and abundance of caution when copying content from outside sites, particularly if the copyright status is unclear. In these instances it is best to avoid the use or in the case of text rewrite the content. '''What changes will you make to your editing?''' Moving forward I will exercise an abundance of caution with copyrighted material. Particularly in regards to uploading images which precipitated my blocking. For the time being, I plan to avoid uploading any images and will limit my contributions to original text. I look forward to your decision and thank you for your consideration. I hope to have a second chance to contribute to this project/community. | accept = This shows an acceptable degree of understanding and competence, and since [[User:Laser_brain|Laser brain]] is onboard with unblocking, I'm lifting the block.
