DC Database:Image Policy

The DC Database Project uses software that provides the ability for registered users to upload images from their computers to our database for use in our articles. This freedom of use does lend itself to an 'honour-system' whereby users are expected to upload appropriate images suitable for all ages and relevant to DC comics.

Because there are so many images being uploaded each day, it can be very hard to track where these images come from and if they should be allowed. If you have found an image that is offensive or violates our copyright policy, please notify an administrator.

Images created by DC contracted artists are used with permission (see above copyright policy page) and are perfectly legal for public display on our non-profit fan-site.

From time to time, images which contain characters copywritten by DC, but produced by fans are uploaded to our database. These images are subject to different laws and should be treated differently. In these cases, the original artist should be contacted and we should obtain clear consent to use their work.
