You wanna know how cool Wikimedia Commons is?

There's a lot of pictures that you actually can use freely, as long as you give credit. Such as this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RTC_2357.jpg

@Liliana @Npars01 Sadly, many of those photos were stolen from the photographers and posted to WC without their permission.

@LeslieBurns if it's CC-BY-SA or public domain it's fine for Commons, that's how those licenses work

@Liliana NOT if the photographer who created the photograph did not post it. That is what I am saying: many of the photos were stolen from the photographers’ sites and posted by others to WC, illegally.

@LeslieBurns @Liliana Wikipedia doesn't have a check for that? Like, automatically check the meta/location etc of the uploaded pic and accept or reject after verification? 😳 Didn't know it was a free for all.

@LeslieBurns @Liliana E.g. If I check the EXIF info of the link that OP shared, I see the following details. A majority of photographers strip this before uploading it to their website.

@graf I know. The EXIF info is stripped. And so are the images I upload here.
