No freedom of panorama in South Africa A1Cafel (talk) 11:29, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Two things, 1) freedom of panorama is currently in the Copyright Amendment Bill of 2018 that has been passed by both houses of parliament and is now just awaiting gazetting into law. So South Africa will soon have FoP. 2) The reproductions in this photograph are copyright exempt as it is a) not a faithful reproduction of the posters in question and b) Fair Dealing exemptions in South African law mean that it is exempt.

 Delete Presumably, the freedom of panorama that is to be passed into law will not include temporary displays such as posters. Any appeal to fair dealing provisions would impact reuse of the photo and is not permitted on Commons; see COM:Fair Use for details. Felix QW (talk) 19:37, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
