Copyvio?

Image:Grzegorz Rosiński - Aaricia.jpg - mr Rosinski draw it for me, I'm owner of this drawing - so also copyright holder. what's on your mind? Image:Jerzy Urban autograph.jpg - it was a signature from letter sent to me. if I wan't, I can publish any part from my correspondence. or maybe I'm wrong? maybe first you'll wait patiently for my answer before delting pictures, OK?

Firstly, as you appear to have realised, copyright resides with the creator of a work. I don't get the right to distribute copies of a film simply because I buy a DVD of it. This also applies to individual copies that were gifts. You can sell, give away, or destroy your copy of it, but the right to control copying (hence copyright) resides with the creator.

Secondly, I didn't delete the images. I tagged them as copyright violations, which I believe they were, and administrators (Raymond de[1] and Ejdzej[2]) apparently agreed that the tagging was appropriate and deleted the images. I am sorry if you felt that they acted too soon, but I have no control over that. Understandably, I guess administrators are quick to delete copyright violations in order to protect the integrity of Wikimedia Commons.
