Legal is the name of a مؤسسة ويكيميديا staff department. The Legal Department is represented by Stephen LaPorte, General Counsel.

The Legal Team

Wikipedia and many other Wikimedia projects are hosted and operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. The Legal Team, serving under General Counsel Stephen LaPorte, oversee all legal matters for the Foundation and focus on key initiatives to help support the community consistent with our Foundation goals and values. We deal with a wide range of issues and projects, including policy drafting, trademark and copyright law, international law, employment law, litigation, fundraising and grant law, domestic and international contracts, privacy law, ethics, internet law, and non-profit corporate governance.

Note: For legal ethical reasons we unfortunately can only represent the Wikimedia Foundation and cannot be the attorney for the community or movement organizations, though the legal team often provides strong support to the community in many ways consistent with Wikimedia Foundation goals.

مرونة المجتمع واستدامته

Community Resilience and Sustainability is a wing of the Wikimedia Foundation's Legal department, led by the Vice President of Community Resilience & Sustainability Maggie Dennis. It currently consists of Trust and Safety, Human Rights, and Committee Support.

Global Advocacy

The Global Advocacy team helps the Foundation and affiliates protect the free knowledge movement through advocacy and public policy. The simple act of sharing knowledge freely online is radical and challenging in many contexts, and can be threatened by weak or hostile policy environments. This is why the Foundation and broader community engage in advocacy and public policy work. We work alongside the Wikimedia community because policy change is most successful when informed by those who are most directly impacted and best understand their local context. Together, we stand for policies that support and protect the Wikimedia model, its people, and its values.

Legal Affairs

Through our 3 subteams – Governance & Risk, Legal Operations, and Privacy & Compliance –, we build and defend our trademark portfolio to promote and protect the brand that the communities built, we support our global fundraising strategy to ensure revenue for the Wikimedia mission, we negotiate and approve hundreds of contracts every year that promote the mission, we ensure that the Foundation’s activities are carried out in accord not only with applicable law, but also with our Foundation policies, and movement and organizational values, we fight aggressively to protect our movement values and we provide daily support to the communities and their work.

تحديثات من القانون

Below are some spaces that Legal may update with announcements or preliminary discussions on legal issues.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") Compliance

In addition to the DMCA Policy, please refer to § 8 of the Wikimedia Terms of Use, which states:

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be re-used by other users without fear of liability and that it is not infringing the proprietary rights of others. In fairness to our users, as well as to other creators and copyright holders, our policy is to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the formalities of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers.
However, we also recognize that not every takedown notice is valid or in good faith. In such cases, we strongly encourage users to file counter-notifications when they appropriately believe a DMCA takedown demand is invalid or improper. For more information on what to do if you think a DMCA notice has been improperly filed, you may wish to consult the Chilling Effects website.
If you are the owner of content that is being improperly used on one of the Projects without your permission, you may request that the content be removed under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at legal(_AT_)wikimedia.org or snail mail our designated agent at this address.
Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than prescribed under the DMCA. In that case, you can post a notice explaining your copyright concerns. For a non-exhaustive and non-authoritative list of the relevant processes for the different Project editions, look here. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at info(_AT_)wikimedia.org.
