Canadian Film Centre photos by WireImage

[edit]

It appears that WireImage has licensed the Canadian Film Centre to use the images, but there's no indication that WireImage has released the rights to the image or given the CFC the right to relicense them. Appears to be the common Flickr error of giving a "some rights reserved" license to an image without the license to do so --Ytoyoda (talk) 23:49, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that CFC is a professional organization and we could assume they know what they are doing - their account don't seem set up for flickrwashing or so... --RussianTrooper (talk) 21:33, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure if that's a particularly good assumption. I've been involved with plenty of professional organizations that don't know their way around social networks, and copyright on other people's images isn't going to be a top priority for an organization concerned with films. --Ytoyoda (talk) 21:44, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: The Canadian Film Centre would know what a free 'CC BY Generic' license means. They aren't newbies to copyright law. If WireImage has a problem about the use of these images, they would tell the CFC to change the license to 'ARR', maybe inform wikipedia to delete them and likely send out a press release to clear out any misunderstandings on the legal status of these particular photos. Right now, this DR is based on an assumption only, I think. In my opinion, its OK to keep them...at present since all photos sources are correctly credited and the images passed flickr review; I don't pretend to read the CFC or WireImage's mind. --Leoboudv (talk) 08:02, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment: The United States Government has put pictures on its site that it does not own. It may be entirely possible that the Canadian Film Centre did the same. It does no harm to contact them to verify that the license they've put on the images is correct. This is why courtesy notification of Flickr copies to Commons comes in handy.

  •  Comment I forgot to add, that I left a message on the Flickr pictures in question. If I do not get an appropriate response back, I will delete these. Bastique ☎ appelez-moi! 02:31, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    CFC has not responded to me and I have found these images [109842753&ep=1/60/1&s=3 here], which is definitely copyrighted. CFC doesn't have any apparent permission to relicense Bastique ☎ appelez-moi! 14:53, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: CFC has no apparent permission to relicense. Deleted per COM:Precautionary principle Bastique ☎ appelez-moi! 14:53, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
