US published pre 1923 not applicable since it's drawn by a british artist for the london based Vanity Fair. Lokal_Profil 23:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm puzzled - does the fact that it originated in London in 1899 mean that its appearance in American periodicals long before 1923 not qualify it for public domain? Rotational (talk) 07:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Right. PD-US applies only to U.S. works. For us, a PD work must be PD in the U.S. and in the source country, which is the UK in this case. In the UK, this painting is copyrighted until the end of 2011 (70 years after the painter's death).  Delete Lupo 09:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
P.S.: If you can find a source for a pre-1923 of the painting, you may upload it locally at the English Wikipedia and tag it there as "{{PD-US}}{{Do not move to Commons}}". Lupo 09:37, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A completely free image could be made. BJTalk 05:09, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete I agree. We should start treating Wikimedia logos (and by extension, screenshots of web pages of Wikimedia projects) just as we do any other kind of non-free copyrighted logo. That we're obliged (for whatever reason) to host the logos here, doesn't mean that we should allow these logos to spread all over the place, into places where they are REALLY not needed. There are plenty of completely free websites that would do fine for screenshot purposes. Lewis Collard! (lol, internet) 05:13, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. I would not have deleted that image at first. But than I saw the request immediately above, where Dezidor stated the same paranoia-opinion. That image had a better name, so it took me not even a minute to find the proove of copyvio (it was the first hit at google picture search actually). Sorry, Dezidor, but that user is completly unthrustworthy and if you would have done a small research yourself you would have found that proove too. But sure, telling everybody that they have paranoia is easier. Cecil (talk) 15:50, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

1950ies, I can’t believe it’s not copyrighted.Code·is·poetry 04:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • To nominator: Believe it or not lots of studio photos were never bothered to be registered for copyright or renewed.

This is obviously no PD-USGov image.Code·is·poetry 11:05, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, this photograph is part of the archives of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum -- a United States Government Agency. While, as copyright holder, the museum controls distribution of the photograph, it has freely released it for use in Wikipedia.

  • Three problems: PD-USGov doesn't apply to works the US Gov merely owns, just the ones it created. An important, if subtle point. Secondly, we have no evidence that it actually owns the copyright instead of just the physical photo, and third, we have no evidence that it has freely released it for use in Wikipedia.--Prosfilaes (talk) 16:20, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about this, since I don't know how the FBI acts in those cases, but I want a few opinions. This picture was used for FBI-MostWanted-Posters and maybe they have gotten all rights for the picture before using it on their posters (but why would/should they). But the picture itself is not the work of an employee of the FBI as indicated by the licence. Before this incidence, the depicted person was never noticeable in a criminal sence, so there do not exist any mugshots of him. And since he was allready dead by the time they caught him, police officials never had the chance to make pictures of him (as a living person). This is a private picture that was used by employees of the FBI, does that make it a free picture useable under this licence? -- Cecil (talk) 16:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If everything in the above statement is accurate, then the photo should probably not be included on Commons. However, I think it would still qualify for fair use on Wikipedia's Andrew Cunanan article. So it shouldn't be simply deleted, but rather moved to Wikipedia and relinked to the article, with a fair use rationale. -Peteforsyth (talk) 21:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That does not help me much since I am working on the article at a wikipedia where there is no fair use. After all there are more than just one Wikipedia (in fact there are hundreds of projects) and many of them create a free encyclopedia, thus only using really free images. -- Cecil (talk) 21:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

=== Images of Vietthanh9188 ===

All photos of User:Vietthanh9188 are suspected copyvios.

‎These are reasons:

  1. Most of the image from one Flickr source, their file names have Flickr thumbnail file name. So he may copy them from other Flickr accounts.
  2. Image:Hoahau08L.jpg is viocopy from This website
  3. Image:2634562344 086ef8659c.jpg is viocopy from This Flickr image.
  4. Image:2634658034 76f1c5b177.jpg is viocopy because it is logo of an organization.

So, I suspect that the Flickr account viet_thanh1991 is created only for uploading viocopy image to Commons. Vinhtantran (talk) 04:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Derivative works. EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:54, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Borderboy here.

I am new and do not understand exactly what is going on.

Nard the Bard has made some un-intelligible (to me) remarks - What on earth does, "*I'll see your derivative works and up you {{Pd-ineligible}} and {{PD-US-no notice}}, so {{Vk}}" mean anyway?

___

I have been collecting Political Campaign items since 1960, and have a major collection in this country. I have been a member of the American Political Items Collectors since 1972 and been on the Board of Directors.

We all share photos of campaign items freely and there has never been any conflict with copyright infringement if that is the problem.

I can supply photos from my collection for many other candidates and causes if this does not become a problem.

Thanks for your understanding and I hope to clear this up soon.

Borderboy out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Borderboy (talk • contribs) 04:11, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry I was referring to different templates we have here to refer to why something might have no copyright restrictions. You can click the links in my comment to see what my reasons are. To answer your other question, Commons has a much stricter attitude on copyright infringement than most places, and to someone like you who is used to sharing images of buttons without concern for copyright, the policy of Commons may come as an incredibly major surprise. When looking at copyright, most people start with a premise of thinking "oh this won't bother the author" or "everyone copies this, nobody even knows who the author is" or "but I know the guy and he said it was ok" or similar. Which is fine in non-commercial contexts. Most authors/artists have no problems with you using their work to describe it positively or within your fair use rights or in other ways they've given permission.
  • Commons starts off with a different approach. Commons does not accept fair use (you can read about this at Commons:Licensing). Commons believes everything has copyright unless proven otherwise. Commons wants images that can be freely used or anything, including commercial use and derivative works. I imagine Hosea would be pretty upset if we replaced the arm giving the victory salute with a sickle and hammer and then sold t-shirts of it. Such a derived use with commercial benefit would not qualify as fair use, and might trigger a copyright lawsuit (and defamation, but that's besides the point). So the only way this image can be on Commons is if it's copyright free. I believe it is, because it was published before 1978 without a copyright notice and the very simplistic design shows little artistic creativity. -Nard the Bard 06:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks so much for making that more understandable to a novice like me. I certainly understand your concern. You will find numerous books, both about candidates, showing their campaign items (a recent book on Eugene V. Debs has his "prisoner" button on the cover) and books about political memorabilia, filled with images of items, old and new. Hosea would probably not be upset as he is long gone.

  • S*

And I certainly cannot see "we" (Wikipedia?) selling t-shirts as you described.

Ok.... Thanks again.

Borderboy

  • Again I refer you to Commons:Licensing. Files stored here are used on local wikis, yes, but they MUST be free for re-use by ANYONE. That's what Commons stands for. For use only on Wikipedia, such a work is not accepted, or is accepted only if it qualifies as fair use at your local wiki. If so upload it there. Files not completely free for re-use by anyone will be deleted from Commons however. -Nard the Bard 02:56, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment On the other hand Jack Sparrow character and "The Carribean Pitates (move)" are based on the Carribean Pirates world previous intoduced in Disneyland so they are Commons:Derivative works, too. Many of the main stream of the modern arts are based on previous works, too - we should say... So it is very dificult to say what is the orgin of something and what is not...
