:Unrelated to these points, one other conundrum comes to mind is [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Country_specific_consent_requirements countries having different laws regarding the publishing of pictures without explicit consent]. If a tournament happened in a country that has strict laws against the publishing of pictures without consent, would the wiki be legally binded to take down such pictures if a picture's subject wanted us to? Or is the wiki being technically US-based means we would only have to follow the US' laws? I believe it's the latter, but I'm not a legal expert, so farther clarification by someone more knowledgeable on the subject would be appreciated. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[File: TyranitarMS.png ]] 19:50, April 19, 2024 (EDT) | :Unrelated to these points, one other conundrum comes to mind is [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Country_specific_consent_requirements countries having different laws regarding the publishing of pictures without explicit consent].

::I do agree with your counterpoints, we don't want to have "outs" or "loopholes", and I don't really have a good idea on how to close these ones. But having read both that and [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photographs_of_identifiable_people this] Wikimedia page, I think we're fine legally, and we have a solid "bigger brother" to link to in order to back our stance up.
