Can i get sued for copyright if its says this on the bottom of each image? From Wikipedia: "This is a faithful photographic reproduction of an original two-dimensional work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason: The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain, and that claims to the contrary represent an assault on the very concept of a public domain". For details, see Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain. Please be aware that depending on local laws, re-use of this content may be prohibited or restricted in your jurisdiction. See Commons:Reuse of PD-Art photographs." Does this mean I can use this image on my website without sourcing at all because if this law: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Reuse_of_PD-Art_photographs#USA
