Hi,
I want to make a graphics picture pack for all graphicmakers with pictures of soccerplayers and stuff like that. But the copyrights...
I read this at the Uefa.com site:
Nothing in the Website is designed to grant any licence or right to use any names, logos, pictures or trademarks. No act of downloading or otherwise copying or reproducing from the Website will transfer title to you to any software or material on the Website.

Except as otherwise stated above, you are granted permission to view, store, print, reproduce, distribute any pages or download any material from the Website for personal non-commercial use only provided that (a) you do not modify any such page or any such material and (b) you include these Terms and Conditions with any reproduction. Any unauthorized reproduction for commercial purposes of the Website or any part thereof is a violation of UEFA's rights.

I'm not English and not so old so i dont understand all words...My question: Is it legal for me too collect some pictures from that site for non-commercial use?

Strictly, no, but no-one will care and even if they do they'll be nothing they can do as long as you dont plaster your address all over it, so I say go for it.

[as long as...]

(a) you do not modify any such page or any such material and
(b) you include these Terms and Conditions with any reproduction.

Ok, so to answer your question you can use anything in any way for your own personal use as long as there is no company or money involved. But you can't modify the images and you have to print the terms and conditions wherever you put the images.

But if you do violate the terms and conditions what usually happens is if they ever even discover that you have illegally used the images they'll ask you to take them down and give you fair warning before they take legal action. So unless this is going up on a major website, don't worry about it.
