Hi Bill - I am not a lawyer and therefore can't offer you legal advice, but from what we have seen historically is that most companies highly value their fans and so do not have an issue with fan sites such as DC wiki.

And if they do have a problem with an image, you as an admin are not responsible for what other people have uploaded. What will happen is that they will send us a DMCA takedown notice, we will remove the image, and it's done. If someone keeps uploading an image that has had a takedown request, then they might get a warning and ultimately be banned. Most often the images that are requested to be taken down are anything that's leaked ahead of official releases, and stock images that are not related to the wiki's topic.

You, individually, are only responsible for the images you upload. If you are worried about the risks to you of uploading an image, then don't upload it. We recommend that you encourage your community members to attribute their images properly, and educate new users so they are aware of these policies.
