[edit] ACID

Ok, the sentence regarding ACID seems lonely. Could someone give it some context so we know why it's important?--Silverhand 16:53, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

• I'm going to remove it. I'm not sure why that sentence is there in the first place, as Merkeson is a cast member of the series and seems to be in every episode anyway.

[edit] Fair use image

The image on this page has been restored. The image page makes a legitimate case for fair use. Cmprince 19:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

• Wikipedia wants images that are freely available to anybody, whereas most publicity photos are still owned by somebody who wants to retain control. Of course Wikipedia makes exceptions where there is no free alternative available (somebody's dead, for example, or to depict a character rather than an actor), but in the case of a living celebrity that's not a realistic argument - theoretically, you could attend a film festival or award ceremony and take a pic. See Brad Pitt for an example (Quentin X 19:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC))
