Forum:Usage of episode transcript - copyright violation?

I'm an admin on the Sonny With a Chance Wiki and I noticed a user add a full episode transcript to this episode page. I'm inclined to believe that this is a copyright violation, but I wanted to ask if anyone knew for sure before I removed it. Is there anyone better versed in copyright law than me who knows whether having the entire transcript of an episode on a wiki is a copyright violation? Not sure if this would affect the answer, but if it stays, I think it should probably have its own page, because it's making that page very long. Thanks for any/all help!! ---Zukogray 08:16, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Since texts on most Wikia hosted wiki are suppose to be plublished under CC-BY-SA, i would be incline to say that having the full text of anything copyright on a wiki page is a violation.
 * But still, since they do it in gaming wikis... If we take a look at this page of the same wiki, it say "All original content is licensed under a Creative Commons by-nc-sa license. All other information, art, skill images, are Copyright to their original creators, NCsoft, or ArenaNet." wich mean that you could do the same, maybe.
 * You would add a statement that say "text transcripts are still copyrighted by" the maker of the serie. — TulipVorlax 12:00, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just because someone else does it is not a valid reason. Copying content is a violation of copyright.  There is fair use but I think you would be hard-pressed to show fair use for copying an entire episode wholesale.  I recommend removing it promptly. -- 17:06, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
