Claimed to be copyright William Willers Tony Wills (talk) 10:32, 10 June 2011 (UTC) This note posted to the help desk:[reply]

"Copyright problem with the image of the Centaur skeleton in Wiki Commons, posted by Sklmsta as public domain and copyright free, attributed to Skulls Unlimited. This photograph and the Centaur skeleton belong to the artist William Willers, who hired Skulls Unlimited to make this art object according to his specifications. It is not in the public domain. William Willers holds the copyright, not Sklmsta or Skulls Unlimited. Please remove this photo from Wiki Commons." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sufiji (talk • contribs)

I have submitted this as a deletion request, rather than a simple copyright-violation because I am not sure of the copyright status, and even copyrightability of this object. The idea of a Centaur is ancient myth/legend/folklore, it would appear that this object was assembled from two existing skeletons [3] at the direction of emeritus professor of biology Bill Willers. So where is the original creative component that attracts copyright? The idea of presenting a centaur as a skeleton? The idea of exactly how they connect two skeletons? The arrangement of the bones to look as though it is running? Is this just a classic case of {{Folklore}}?:

The work depicted in this file may be considered "folklore" – or a traditional work of art. According to the copyright law of many countries, folkloric works are not protected by copyright, since they are neither works of fine art nor scientific works. The object shown therefore enjoys no copyright protection. Nevertheless, the photograph of this item may be copyrighted, and so this tag alone is not sufficient.

This tag does not indicate the copyright status of the attached work. A normal copyright tag is still required. See Commons:Licensing.

Hmmm, I see Commons:Image_casebook#Folklore_and_Tradition is currently listed as only relevant to Germany, probably why I hadn't heard of it before ... in fact that section only just added anyway (no references), have I fallen for a hoax bigger than the Centaur Skeleton ;-) --Tony Wills (talk) 11:05, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I appear to be talking to myself. I would like to know what the copyright status of reconstructions of 'real' animals and their skeletons is (probably documented somewhere). Unfortunately I think this discussion is to be cut short by an obvious problem with this particular photograph - it appears to have been taken from a website skullsunlimited.com, and very unlikely to be uploaders own work, therefore I vote  Delete :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 11:32, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Too fast for "talking to myself"... the subject definitely needs more attention. I asked the same question myself - if, according to "consensus", lifesize dinosaur puppets are "copyrighted" and deleted, then what about dinosaur skeletons? Some are reconstructed based on just a bunch of bones, others were more or less complete skeletons - but assembling them still involved "creative decisions": too many unknowns, too much uncertainty. "Don't tell a model builder that models aren't creative..." [4]. If a model of a peasant hut that stands across the street is "copyrighted" [5] ... then the same (at least!) should apply to reconstruction of something that no human ever saw in real life. It's a can of worms: were to draw the line between copyrighted Mickey Mouse, on one side, and a non-copyrighted frame of a living human recorded on X-ray film?
  • One thing clear to me is that it is not folklore. NVO (talk) 12:09, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Works of folklore (poetry, dance, costumes and so on) are usually not protected by law (on the basis that there are usually no identified authors, and the works are very old) ; explicit protection exists mostly in developing countries. However the issue isn't relevant here, as *representations* of centaurs are undoubtedly copyrighted if they're original. The problem here IMO is that it's conceptual art, which isn't very well protected by copyright law. Yet this very interesting debate will remain theoretical as, as you mention, the picture is lifted from a website. Unless Sklmsta provides permission,  Delete. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 12:14, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As the person who took the photo of the project that Skulls Unlimited was commissioned to build, I do not see how my image violates any copyright. I took this photo of the centaur skeleton at Skulls Unlimited. The way I understand it, the skeleton was commissioned by Willers and Skulls Unlimited provided the bones and built it. However, Willers wants to take the entire credit for its creation...despite centaurs being a popular fantasy character for hundreds of years. Even skeletal centaurs have been created in the form of toys and fantasy gaming miniatures. I really don't see how a photo, that I personally took, is a copyright violation. Would a photo of the Eiffel tower be a copyright violation? Even if he didn't actually construct it, at least Eiffel designed the tower from his own original idea. I'm not questioning ownership of the skeletal creation. Willers paid for it to be built and now owns the specimen. If I have a Jeep, pay a custom shop to do a custom paint job, add some detail work, etc. Does Chrysler no longer have the rights of it's design? Would I hold exclusive copyrights as the vehicles creator? Personally, I don't care if my photo is deleted. But I think this is more of an ego issue than a copyright violation issue. I will leave the decision of deletion or non-deletion of the image in the hands of the Wiki administrators.Sklmsta
Thanks for the clarification about the status of your picture. Can you confirm that the work involved here was ‘only’ the assembling to preexisting skeletons? Jastrow (Λέγετε) 14:17, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sklmsta, in fact photos of the Eiffel Tower taken at night are copyvios, because its nighttime illumination is considered a separately copyrightable work on its own. See w:Eiffel Tower#Image copyright claims for details. (The original copyright on the tower has expired because Gustave Eiffel has been dead more than 70 years.) In this case, the centaur skeleton is in effect a sculpture by a still-living artist. A photograph of a sculpture is considered a derivative work of that sculpture and may be restricted by the sculpture's own copyright. In countries with freedom of panorama (like the countries of the EU), a photograph of a sculpture that's a permanent installation in a public place is not restricted by the sculptor's own copyright, so this photo of a permanently installed modern sculpture in Germany is acceptable. However, sculptures that are not permanently installed, or are in place that is not freely open to the public (basically, if it's indoors or on non-freely accessible private property) are not subject to freedom of panorama, so photographs of them are restricted by the sculpture's own copyright. In the U.S., there is no freedom of panorama, so photos of sculptures are restricted by the sculpture's own copyright, regardless of whether the sculpture is indoors or outdoors or installed permanently or temporarily. This skeleton appears to have been photographed indoors, so I don't think freedom of panorama is going to apply regardless of which country the photo was taken in. The only way the photo can be free of the sculpture's own copyright is if we decide that conjoining a partial human skeleton and a partial horse skeleton is not creative enough to meet the threshold of originality required for copyright protection. But I don't think we at Commons (not even those of us who are admins) can do that - it's a legal question and would probably have to be decided by a court in whatever jurisdiction the photo was taken in. To be on the safe side, I'm afraid I'm going to have to go with  Delete, as it's possible the centaur skeleton is creative enough to be copyright-protected. —Angr 17:44, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Angr, admins decide routinely in Deletion Requests whether objects pass the threshold of originality or not. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 18:47, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but we routinely decide that for much more clear-cut cases than this one. IANAL, but I suspect even a judge would have to deliberate a lot evidence for a long time before deciding whether or not this item is a copyrightable piece of art. (And my entirely non-lawyer gut feeling is that an American judge would probably decide it is.) —Angr 09:03, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My knowledge of the subject concerns French courts. I know they are reluctant to grant copyright protection to pieces of conceptual art. Take for instance Duchamp's famous Fountain: a standard, off-the-shelf urinal, simply put upside-down. It's widely recognised as an artwork and exhibited in a museum as such, yet it's not copyrighted. Artworks and original works of authorship are not necessarily the same in contemporary art. I don't know whether US courts follow that line of reasoning, but it seems rather sound. What we have to decide here is whether this centaur is a readymade or not. I agree the issue is complicated, and we will probably have to err on the side of caution. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 09:16, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Derivative of an original copyrighted unfree work. We need not concern us with the question of wether the original was a work for hire or not, and who of Willers or Skulls owns the copyright on it, because anyway it is owned by one or the other. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:56, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep - The concept of joining a horse and man skeletons to make a centaur skeleton is most probably centuries old (I seem to recall to have seen something like that in renaissance paintings), and it's done all the time. Here a 2001 example, here is another in a museum, here is another someone did just for fun. The concept of joining the two skeletons is undoubtedly not copyrightable. About the particular bone arrangement, they represent normal movements of the body of both horse and man, and I doubt very much that a copyright could be granted on such things, since they are not original. Nothing there is original, IMO. The skill used by teh scientist who mounted the bones is not copyrightable as well, it's a technical thing. -- Darwin Ahoy! 22:36, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Practice does not follow this logic. Usually, declaring something "a work of art" weighs far more than any logic constructs. Abstract art is just blobs of paint, and yet it is protected along with Mickey, Donald and Escher. And have you seen the Duchamp Fountain? Yes, it's just a urinal. But some prankster called it sculpture. So it is protected sculpture (the file is kept on commons owing to a fortunate coincidence of events, see its talk page). NVO (talk) 15:59, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Maybe I have to thank my Hun ancestors for some of my tastes in art, but there are some things that I completely fail to understand how they have enough creative merit to deserve a copyright. There is an installation in the Gulbenkian museum of contemporaneous art in Lisbon featuring a dinning room with chairs, table and tableware in the exact style you find in every IKEA and furniture store, yet it is deemed a "work of art". I don't know how such a completely uncreative structure can be granted a copyright. Anyway, to the point: I agree that this particular case is not a simple one, since the bones arrangement has certainly some creativity. The point is that it is no more creative than taxidermied animal exhibitions, for instance. The angry otter of Bhubaneswar is as much creative as any bone arrangement.-- Darwin Ahoy! 16:37, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • NVO, I would like to see some case law about that, cf. my reply to Angr above. Copyright is about works; a readymade (or the centaur's sculpture in our case) is an idea. What you say is that artists have the power to grant copyright to anything as long as they call it art; I find it highly dubious. In comparison, the inventor must prove originality when they seek to file a patent. I have only small experience about US courts, but a quick research on the Web shows that, in the words of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, ‘not all conceptual art may be copyrighted’ (Chapman Kelley vs. Chicago Park District). Under French law, readymades are not protected by copyright, and there is a court decision about Duchamp's Fountain denying it protection (TGI Tarascon 20 November 1998). To my knowledge, UK law does not grant copyright to conceptual art either. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 17:07, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • Jastrow: You are precisely right that in real life the line between "any art is copyrighted" (statutory law) and "urinals aren't" (common sense) is drawn in courts, case by case. Some jurisdictions will then recognize court cases as lasting precedents, others will not. My point is, Commons discussions cannot substitute real-life legal practice and should not decide "is this art or not". If there are specific, uncontroversial laws or court precedents on the subject (thanks for digging the fountain ruling) then they trump anything said here. If not, precautionary principle prevails. NVO (talk) 06:48, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • My point is not to say we need decide what is art or not. My point is that art and copyrighted works are orthogonal concepts: most artworks are protected, but some are not; conversely works may be copyrighted that are not artworks. For instance not all photographs are protected by copyright, cf. our PD-Art policy. The US Copyright Act grants copyright protection to ‘original works of authorship’. How is a urinal you buy off the shelf an original work of authorship? In the court case I mentioned, the 7th Circuit didn't say the garden wasn't art. They stated that certain works of art stand outside of copyright protection. I agree we will probably have to apply the precautionary principle though Jastrow (Λέγετε) 18:53, 15 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jastrow, Yes, the project required Skulls Unlimited to join two existing skeletons...that of a human torso and that of a zebra (had to be smaller than a horse). The specimen was then antiqued and made to look old.Sklmsta


Kept: as per Sklmsta. Skeletons are not work of art. The idea of centaur cannot be copyrighted. Yann (talk) 10:25, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]


This "Centaur of Tymfi" seen in the photo is part of a "history" that I began in 1984 with the "Centaur of Volos", a skeletal installation ( "archeological excavation" ) that ultimately was purchased by the University of Tennessee. You can find it by googling "University of Tennessee Centaur". I have photos of it in various stages of completion. At that time I drew an upright centaur skeleton in an action pose as a plan for a future piece. Having taught anatomy and learned that many people experience a subliminal "fleshing out" process, I thought that a centaur skeleton would make the creature "real" in a viewer's mind, at least momentarily. Incidentally, the Centaur of Volos showed in several states before going to UT, and was always presented as bona fide, as it is presented with an elaborate story line.

In 2008 I continued the story line with another centaur (Same fictional Greek archeological group). While I had been able to place bone within the "gravesite" of the Centaur of Volos, I thought the upright running skeleton would require the experience of a taxidermist to mount the bones based on the drawing. I supplied the human skeleton (from a biological supply house), and Skulls Unlimited supplied the skeleton of a zebra. Mounting was done as "work for hire", and when it was done, I hired a case maker as "work for hire" to make a museum case for it. Neither the taxidermist nor the case maker can claim to be "author", which would signify creator of the concept, as this the Centaur, although a physical object, would certainly qualify as "conceptual art". Note: When you see a bronze by, say, Picasso, it was made at a foundry by technicians from a wax or clay original. Nobody at the foundry can claim "authorship". While bone itself cannot, of course, be copyrighted, the story line or "history" is copyrighted (No. VAu 1-003-210, effective date July 23, 2010), and the skeleton is a part of the physical expression of the story.

When I found that Skulls Unlimited had posted the photo of the skeleton on their Skulls web page, I asked them to take it down, because finding an appropriate venue might take a long time, and I did not want it to have had earlier exposure. They took it down. Recently, though, I was informed of its having long since been added on Wiki's centaur page with linking to the Skulls website and to the page with a large photo shown as "public domain" and "author" as "Sklmsta".

I paid Skulls Unlimited with the understanding this was to be part of an installation artwork not to be publicized prematurely, which would undercut my efforts to find a show, but they have used it as a marketing tool. Recently, when I protested to Skulls about these postings on Wiki, I received this reply: "We have done what we can to get the thing off Wikipedia but it keeps coming back. Maybe if you complain that you own it that will convince them to take it down."

Of course this does not explain why it was posted in the first place. Actually, I don't know the legal details of such a situation. Also, a legal action would be beyond my financial ability at present. On the other hand I do understand ethics, and Skulls Unlimited/Sklmsta has, in my view, acted in bad faith, and I would prefer that the photo be removed of the five (or more?) Wiki pages where it is now seen. Bill Willers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willers1938 (talk • contribs)

The deletion request was accidental, the picture should not be deleted, only the duplicate copies! - And now I do not know how to remove the deletion request. I uploaded the picture. Later, when trying to enter a caption and category I accidentally requested deletion of the file in order to reload with corrections. While trying to correct that mistake, I must have caused even one more copy to appear. The picture is OK, as it was meant to be and as it now appears in the article with the same name. But when doubleclicking to see the picture full size, the red frame announcing "deletion requested" appears and three identical versions of the picuture are shown. I should appreciate some help in achieving the necessary correction so that the picture remains, but the copies and these remarks can be removed.Yngvar)¨¨¨¨

Found at higherresolution at https://imgur.com/gallery/yyNTSN8, unlikely to have been shot in 2006 Patrick Rogel (talk) 12:45, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Patrick Rogel: no, the resolution of that image is not higher than the Flickr image. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 17:46, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Lauren Brown claims she took this photo. The photo before it says "Did you just see Rick Moranis?, suggesting she attended some event or performance with Rick? Lauren appears to have been quite young in 2006. So if this photo is considered to have been taken in the early 90s, Lauren couldn't have taken it. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 17:58, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment The photo of the youth at the second photo is not stated to be a selfie nor photo of the Flickr user; doesn't look much like the profile photo to me. Anything else specifically to say she was too young to have taken photos in the 1990s? Thanks. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 18:02, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Infrogmation: Indeed, Lauren Brown may be the mother of one of the young girls pictured. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 18:40, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment, okay looking at photos of Rick Moranis, this clearly shows him younger than he was in 2006. I suspect this may be a derivative work (photo of a photo) by the Flickr photographer; I have asked them for clarification on Flickr both on the photo page and Flickr message, however the Flickr user appears to have been inactive for several years. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 18:15, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with @Infrogmation: Moranis seems to be very young. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 19:48, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: i seriously doubt this was taken in 2006, and it clearly doesn't match style and look of other uploads by the Flickr user. Likely COM:LL. P 1 9 9   18:33, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The uploader claims to be the author and copyright holder of all their uploads. This seems highly unlikely.

Note that instead of participating in this discussion, the uploader proceeded to upload additional files with unlikely authorship claims:

Deleted: Same case as in Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Ekontai, with the only difference that Aizhanka_aaa creates articles in kk.wp in alphabetical order starting at BI (=БИ) and BO and the other case was MO. You can not just copy images from random sources and upload them here. If you want to illustrate your (if it is even your) new article you must look out for public domain or freely licensed images, you must provide the source of the file and the files author, thats the photographer or painter or illustrator.

Collages of Jgb.jaime

[edit]

Reasons for deletion request:

They are collages including the main part of a coat of arms copied from http://www.vexilologia.es/valladol/va_e_01.htm. --LMLM (talk) 10:30, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Collages of Jgb.jaime

[edit]

Can't understand why those files were kept, as no real explanation was given for the decision. They look like simple cases of copies. Clearly copied from the works of http://www.vexilologia.es. The fact that someone pasted another image on top of those images doesn't change that. Also, the uploader apparently felt some remorse since the last DR, because he changed the source information to "Google images" instead of "own" [7]. Someone tagged the files for speedy deletion but they've been sitting there for some time. Perhaps that's because of the existence of the previous DR. So, if that's the reason and we're just waiting for someone to open another DR, then here it is, although I agree that those files can be speedy deleted. -- Asclepias (talk) 03:41, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Deleted I can't find any reason why I kept these last July, particularly without closing the DR, but I agree that they look like {{Speedy}} so I am doing now what I should have done then.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 13:04, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This map is very similar to maps included in Jean Sellier, Atlas des peuples d'Asie méridionale et orientale, La Découverte, Paris, 2008, ISBN 978-2-7071-5425-5. I have the 2008 edition and the maps in this book are very similar, but not exactly the same. I suspect this image is maybe a scan from an older edition (2001 or 2004). Moreover, the uploader wrote "Spiridon Manoliu d'après Anne Le Fur". Anne Le Fur is the cartographer of the above-mentioned book. Hence the uploader acknowledge this is, if not a simple scan, at least a derivative work of copyrighted material. BrightRaven (talk) 15:59, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure is similar : I worked before 2000 for La Découverte. I scan my old first essays & maquettes. But this map are no present in any edition of this Atlas, you can verify. Anne le Fur knows my uploads.--Spiridon MANOLIU (talk) 18:05, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You are not credited in my edition of the book. (Spiridon Ion Cepleanu seems to be your real name.) The cartographers credited are: Bertrand de Brun, Anne Le Fur and AFDEC. On the website of AFDEC, Bertrand de Brun et Anne Le Fur are mentioned, but you are not mentioned either. There are two problems:
  1. Who is the author of this map? Is it you alone? Anne Le Fur alone? Both? If Anne Le Fur is author or co-author, you have to get her authorization via OTRS.
  2. You claimed that you worked for La Découverte. If this is the case, you signed an edition contract. Please note art. L. 132-8 of the French code of intellectual property ("code de la propriété intellectuelle") : "L'auteur doit garantir à l'éditeur l'exercice paisible et, sauf convention contraire, exclusif du droit. Il est tenu de faire respecter ce droit et de le défendre contre toutes atteintes qui lui seraient portées." Consequently, unless your contract (and/or Anne Le Fur's) states otherwise, you do not have the right to publish derivative works of the illustration published by La Découverte according to the French law. BrightRaven (talk) 10:31, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I'm not credited for the published maps. I can use (and upload) only NOT published maps. I was a "nègre" for this (and other) teams (not for a person, as Anne Le Fur or Bertrand de Brun).

This map is identical to a map included in Jean Sellier, Atlas des peuples d'Asie méridionale et orientale, La Découverte, Paris, 2008, ISBN 978-2-7071-5425-5, p. 169.
