Hi,

The wiki I am currently contributing on is about a book series. Are we allowed to take photos of eg. the cover or illustrations from the book and upload them to the wiki, or does that count as copyrighted material? (If we take photos ourselves, does that count as "I created this image myself" when you upload it?)

I can't find images from this series on wikimedia commons or creative commons (free use images).

Also, if we take images just from google (which may be copyrighted) and use them in galleries or articles is that fair use?
