Wikimedia volunteer contributors are very mindful of copyright law, and will remove items that do not meet our projects’ copyright standards, which require content to be freely-licensed or or available under another copyright exception. In August, a photographer sent us a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice regarding a photo they had taken of a European university. The photo was on English Wikipedia, and incorrect licensing information had been provided. However, by the time we evaluated the request, we found the photo had been removed from the projects. Wikipedia contributors had spotted the infringement and already taken the photo down.
