Why use the copyright law of the us?
When I look at the details of a non-free picture uploaded to Wikipedia, it says qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Wikipedia shouldn’t think that the us is the only country in the world, which everyone knows that the us isn’t the only country in the world. I think that there should be an option to choose a copyright law from another country of your choice you will be uploading the photo under to Wikipedia. In other words, why is that?
