The Licensing Team is the staff team of the SCP Wiki concerned with handling and ensuring that copyright standards are upheld across the Wiki and its community. Additionally, the team is responsible for determining if content is stolen or plagiarized, and guaranteeing that all used media are attributed correctly and legally. More specifically, the Licensing Team's responsibilities are:
- Establishing the legality of images and texts used on the Wiki as a whole.
- Searching for license violations elsewhere on the Internet.
- Sending messages requesting license fixes or take-downs as appropriate.
- Being available & knowledgeable enough to answer questions on Creative Commons licensing, both to other staff and ordinary users.
Each team member is assigned to a particular site or content hub, such as Amazon or iTunes, which they will search regularly for SCP-related materials. When a team member finds a possible license violation, they should report to the Team Captain with the appropriate details.
Team members should then contact the violator themselves with a polite message about the violation and what needs to be done to correct it. Violations which need to be disputed with major companies (e.g. iTunes, Google Play, T-shirt websites, etc.) require direct input from the Team Captain first.
If you have any questions or concerns, please inquire in #site34 or message a member of the team.
If there are issues with this page, please contact a member of the Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Team.
