Using Grand Theft Wiki Content
Grand Theft Wiki's content is available under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported.
In short, you are free to to copy, modify, distribute and transmit the work, but you MUST provide attribution (by linking back to this site on each page our content has been used on) and you must use the same or a similar licence for your copy, whether modified or not.

Putting Content onto Grand Theft Wiki
- By editing Grand Theft Wiki, you agree to license any content you add under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License 3.0 (Unported).
No copyrighted content should be placed on Grand Theft Wiki unless one of these conditions apply:
- You own the copyright
- You have express written permission from the Copyright holder
- It is an official or unofficial image of a GTA game (ie screenshot, box art)
- It is fair & necessary to use the content (eg short quotes, company/product logos)
Wherever possible, you should state where you found the content:
- For images, you must use a copyright template on the file's page.
- For article content, you should place a note on the talk page of the article.
We believe it is fair to use screenshots of games to represent games and the characters, vehicles and locations in those games. We also believe that it is fair to use existing screenshots for that purpose, since we (by default) allow images to be reproduced elsewhere. Credit will be given where due. However, if the copyright holder wishes to dispute our use of an image, it should be discussed on the talk page for the image or this page.
- See: Copyright templates for various copyright templates for use on images

Correction of Breaches of Copyright
If you believe a copyright has been breached, please let us know on the talk page, and provide proof of the source and licence of the content. We will aim to correct the problem as soon as possible if neccessary.
