 * Thanks. The website is a desktop wallpaper website, it has no indication that they are the owners of the photograph nor is there a copyright anywhere by it. LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:29, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Per their (archived) disclaimer: "In view of world cyber rights, copyrights and legal content limitations all the photos and wallpapers on that website “hdwallpapersmart.com”, hold copyright and authorities privileges given to the website holders, so if you want to download and use these wallpapers for your computer desktop, laptop or any other devices like apple mac, i pad, i phone and other mobile phone devices, you must acquire permission from the respective authors. hdwallpapersmart.com Team." In real terms, that means that, they did not have copyright/permissions. It was, and still is, only for individual/private use on the proviso that the individual obtain rights to use it or run the risk of violation of copyright, and most certainly not public domain usage. Ergo, this is explicitly a copyright violation.


 * Please ensure that you check legal disclaimers thoroughly in future, Update stormtrooper. Thank you. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 23:17, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

OK did you not read the rules on the website it says that the content on the website is free and allowed to be used anywhere. Update stormtrooper (talk) 02:55, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Are you talking about the first paragraph of the two (the first which I've reproduced above)?: "All the wallpapers, photos, pictures and photographs on “www.hdwallpapersmart.com” easily to download. Our site, as the name implies takes you to Top of world Quality& high quality resolution wallpapers in widescreen where you can easily download High DefinitionWallpapers for Free to your Pc, Laptop, Desktop, i pad, Mac, iPhone’s and even the Other mobile phones devices." Aside from the clue as to how 'free' these images are by the very nature of the illiterate disclaimer, nowhere does it claim that the images are free in the public domain. Free to download simply means that the site is not charging you for the download (because they're hoping to make themselves profitable by bringing in advertisers). Again, I would ask that you read such disclaimers with care. You're seeing the word 'free' and assuming that it means legal and not copyright violation. Please be careful in future. Wikipedia and Wiki Commons cannot accept any images that might breach copyright, much less blatant breaches. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:15, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
