Copy of e-mail
I got the following e-mail from this user a couple days before the unblock request; I am copying it below, along with my response. It demonstrates pretty well (to me at least) that this user has had ample opportunities to learn what our copyright policy is and has not done so.

Dear Rjanag,

This is from Jocelyn who want to talk with you about the copyright violation of image on "Leehom Wang" page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leehom_Wang

The last uploaded file actually got payment authorization from udndata.com (It's the online source database of the print media in Taiwan called "United Daily News") They collect their news and images on the website, and users can "buy the copyright" with their permission. That's the legal and formal way for me to get copyright of the file.

Surely I take it seriously about the high respect to copyright permission from wikipedia. To confirm this, I sincerely ask for your help to make the RIGHT WAY from uploading file. How can I define the type of permission or take the form to guarantee my permission from the copyright holder?

I don't mean to violate the rule and really expect for your kind reply.

Thanks, Jocelyn Please see Wikipedia's copyright policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights). It doesn't matter if *you* have permission to use the image; Wikipedia does not accept content that is under copyright unless it is first *released* from copyright under acceptable terms (a license such as Creative Commons 3.0 ShareAlike Attribution) that allows the image to be used freely. Since you don't own the copyright to this image and don't have the power to release it from copyright for free use, posting it on Wikipedia (which is a free website whose content is often copied elsewhere) is a violation of the copyright holder's rights. I'm sorry you spent your money, but you should have checked the copyright policies before doing this.

As for whether or not you take the copyright policy seriously and intend to follow it if you are unblocked, the fact that you continued uploading the same file after it was deleted once and you had been warned, and made no attempt to respond to messages or check the copyright policy until after you were blocked and forced to do so, makes me doubt that. If you want to be unblocked, you can follow the steps explained in the block message that was left on your talk page.
